The gates are under manual control. That early opening is finger trouble by the operator. If you look at 4:50 you can see the guy on the platform operating them from the control panel.
The crossing is not malfunctioning it is a TOMB crossing (trainman operated crossing with barriers) it is operated by the guard using a control box on the side of the tracks and is why trains always come to a full stop before crossing(on tomb crossings). the crossing uses lidar to detect the train has passed (the lidar sensor is located on the signpost entering/exiting the station) which is why the barriers open once one of the maintenance vehicles had passed the sensor with one still on the crossing.
as somebody not familiar with the ins-and-outs of railway crossings, what differentiates a standard closure from an emergency sequence? is it just the timespan before closing?

Yes, this crossing is a TMOB, and the train crew operates it . Since there's no local control, they have to use the driver pedestals
@JPLCUK you are best ❤

The OOH Got me dying on the floor
Great video 👍

Also the yellow light is skipped so it goes
Activate -> red lights and close
Instead of
Activate -> warning light -> red light and close
Great video!
Doesn't this crossing have a local control panel? I'd have thought it would be manually controlled when within a possession.
it is manually controlled but I’m assuming the track circuit is the thing that reopens the crossing after the train passes through the crossing
@@taylord9587it hasn’t got a local control panel so they have to use the driver pedestals and the crossing thinks that the trains passed
Geez the crossing is out of control again
Very
Geez what is happening? to the crossing?
It's confused
It wasn't a track circuit malfunction it was the EO on the platform who was at fault,there operating on local control for the work.
This crossing doesn't have local control
Some of those early opens were ridiculous. The guys didn't seem massively impressed.
Yeah, I think the barriers are confused since there's RRVs everywhere
Wow 😮
Ah, Barmouth LC at its finest!
JP Oh dear on film think of the paperwork.
If we switched to treadles, it won't be an issue
Not good.
Barmouth at its best lol
you have no hobbies, haven't you?
You do sound a bit stupid commenting that on this video
@@JPLCUK ye, don't listen to them. they r tryna get attention. u do what u like and focus on ur dreams 😁
Ah yes
