A rural level crossing with an obstacle detection system dating back to 2016 located near the settlement of Oddingley to the north east of Worcester. The road here is very quiet and fairly narrow (though at the level crossing it's not quite as narrow as the roads that lead up to it), and two full-road-width barriers, rather than four, completely block the road off for trains to pass, the cages of which are fairly recently-added 'Newgate' barrier cages. More recently to the time of filming, sort-of triangular-shaped plates have been fitted to each barriers making them look just like those that were manufactured by 'Newgate'. These barriers are located opposite each other on the same side of the road, and both accompanying alarms here are very quiet. The shades for the lights on this side of the level crossing are long, and these have also been twisted to the side to prevent light the glare from disturbing residents of the adjacent house.
Thanks for watching!
