Sleaford Level Crossing

A Class 156 and two Class 153s all in East Midlands Trains livery head into Sleaford station and toward Ancaster before a Class 56 in Colas Rail livery and steel wagons heads toward Heckington, working the Boston Docks steel train also seen at Sudbrook LC the day before and Sleaford West LC a few moments earlier. A Class 158 in East Midlands Trains livery also heads toward Heckington. The crossing here is a dual carriageway crossing on a junction which, when lowered, the traffic lights all turn to red at the junction. I don't know why there aren't any pedestrian lights here on the far right hand sides, although the alarms are loud enough. This is the crossing more closer to the centre of Sleaford, but it is called Sleaford East crossing. 4 lines converge here, with most if not all passenger trains stopping in the station next to the crossing. Cars head in front of the camera in the first shot. Bloody coaches.

0:10 those 4 alarms make it nice and loud!
2:07 Wow! a two car DMU (which I don't know what class) with two 153s!
3:19 Is Colas Rail Freight not that common in the UK compared to DB or Freightliner?
4:56 are the red traffic lights for an interection before or after the crossing, or the crossing itself?
5:39 what did that guy say in the background?
Why didn't the light turn green at the end?

[@George_M55729]

5:39 Because it is a traffic lighted junction. If the main street lights are on green then the cross street lights will be on red. regardless of the crossing.

Great video, how come you didn't call it East?
