Nice one! I reckon these new alarms & LED lights were fitted circa 2015. There's a video from 2012 with the old alarms & lights. They were fairly loud and sounded sort of like the ones at Worthing or Lancing.
Thanks! 👌🏻👌🏻 These are probably some of the loudest level crossing alarms I have ever heard. Strange that there was that number 1 on the barrier light also...
It's to do with the kind of alarm they use, and how their sounders are made and set-up. The design of these alarms is common, and not distinguishable from a normal crossing alarm at first, but since they are set-up and made differently, they sound more old-fashioned.
Lol. These full barrier crossings unfortunately don't change their tones when another train approaches, as the alarm stops when the barriers are down. Still, it does make you wonder what these alarms would sound like if they were at a half barrier level crossing when another train approaches.
Sounds a bit like an apollo outcast fire alarm sounder from a distance

Thank you! 👍🏻😊
I have seen Steve DD1's video of the older alarms with the halogens.
That was very loud! Very odd to have a number 1 on the barrier 😏 And nice catch! 😁
Thanks! 👌🏻👌🏻

Why does that sound like a fire alarm...

It sounds like a klaxon Sonos sounder or Apollo discovery open area sounder if you slow it down
If that alarm was for an oncoming train, I can't wait to hear one for a tornado or worse yet, an air raid!
