Maybe they were thinking of the future when they put the 17 foot safe height warning in? As for the "STOP when lights show' 'or when barrier is down" it is no doubt to cover themselves from any lawsuits that may result from thick people jumping over the barriers!
I found a crossing like this near Barnetby Station called New Barnetby LC, which used to have manual gates until I think late 2015. Found an image of it on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/46759565@N02/24312953200/in/photolist-D3seWh-nKA1WR-dm49Sb-dm4d7w-pTvqfS-hNb4hk-hNb4a6-qkWNje-uGnW2y-cNYo5G-fjEQTv-dA7kxQ-qVaAEq-ppc7qV-gE1irD-ebQi48-9JpsfY-dxtJxt-dgFWZa-b3Gt2z-ebxH9a-dm4dPQ-dBGQBk-bY7snN-aAQFip-CZgrT4-C9t681-C2q1Q7-ah3jT1-BAA6kF-BHW368-CgPBbA-BmJWpk-C9xQWb-BKBBKD-BmJWzF-CgPC9C-Cw9prv-AAeC94-Bvz8Fp-B1PnMH-xQ4225-oNXj7C-p4prAY-C2DyrW-oDsAeN-avHkx2-aqubkr-dm4asW-ca6MkG
Fascinating crossing. I’m trying to work out what the ‘call’ button does, if anything, as the barriers seem to raise when it is safe to cross, for example at 1:19. When your dad presses it near the beginning ‘wait’ was still illuminated and it had no effect.
Nathan A RF Hi and thanks for replying. I see now that the WAIT light is not illuminated at first when the barriers come down. So the button must have been pressed during the cut between shots.
I remember years ago when it was a proper road crossing the line. That's why the height limit signs are still there. There used to be a small crossing keeper's hut and manual gates.
so this crossing was originally (in the 1990's when installed) a normal full barrier crossing, but was then converted to pedestrian user operated crossing. Dagenham Docks was not a user operated crossing & was lowered & raised normally. There is also a picture of Dagenham Docks crossing taken in 1987: www.flickr.com/photos/28083135@N06/11825134276/in/photostream/ will you film Gardners at some point?
I do hope to film the crossings from here to Pitsea, including the never filmed before Gardners and Vange Wharf crossings (there is CCTV of Vange Wharf LC being smashed by a lorry but that's it)
This crossing's default barrier position is down, the lights only flash when they are going down and switch off afterwards. The barriers only go up when someone wants to cross.
Cheers for a good video mate, out of interest are there any level crossings on the high speed one line? Or on lines such as the fast one in the background of this video?
The background line is High Speed 1 and no, there aren't because that would be incredibly stupid and dangerous. Plus it was built with lots of new technology, most of it in bridges and tunnels.
Jack Bauer The IC125 (Class 43) runs all across the main part of the UK, from Penzance to Inverness. There are crossings on the Cornish Main Line, the Great Western Main Line and the East Coast Main Line where you can see crossing videos. One popular one is Helpston LC
Unusual setup, but I'm not sure I fully understand it. Do the barriers remain closed after all approaching trains have passed and only raise if somebody hits the 'Wait' button? If that's the case, then why don't the lights continue to flash until all approaching trains have passed rather than only whilst the barriers are lowering? Makes the whole point of having barriers and particularly wigwags pointless, when you can just simply have a sign that warns people to look and listen before crossing. It is only a pedestrian crossing, after all, and all the lights and barriers seem like an unnecessary expense, especially when we see no end of pedestrians abusing road crossings by jumping over or squeezing through the barriers anyway.
Apparently this crossing was a road crossing at some point in the past And the barriers only open when someone wants to cross (and lower again shortly after they have crossed, even if no train is coming) This type of crossing is normally only found on roads which not many people use (one example would be a road that leads to some houses, and doesn’t go anywhere else), and I believe the lights go out as soon as the barrier has lowered to save energy, its also quite likely that the equipment at the crossing itself has no way of knowing if a train is actually coming (pressing the button sends a raise request to a signalling centre, where a signaller will then raise the barriers if there is not a train coming)
Your dad is a very smart man even when the crossing was open, he still looked down the line before he crossed

This is officially the cutest level crossing ever!

Thats a neat little set up never seen one before

Is It Real?
That unnecessary sign is in fact completely necessary, because as the description alludes to, people ARE incredibly thick.
The crossing has been permanently removed as of June 2019 😢😭😿😥😓😰😪☹️🙁

Take care.
0:35 the warning lights flashed in time for the high speed train in the background 😂

You press the button and the barriers raise if it's safe to cross

Wow, a British call barrier, awesome
Great Video Nathan!!
Good video
Great video.
Never actually seen a crossing like this before...
There's trains everywhere!!!

National Express? But I thought that National Express was overtaken by Greater Anglia in 2012?
In poland we got few of those too, but they simply modified normal crossings so lights always flash barriers are down
Same in Hungary

Good crossing that is

Landsheriffs Sign.
The c2c trains are capable of going up to 160kmh, but can only do 120kmh within routes.
so this crossing was originally (in the 1990's when installed) a normal full barrier crossing, but was then converted to pedestrian user operated crossing. Dagenham Docks was not a user operated crossing & was lowered & raised normally.
There is also a picture of Dagenham Docks crossing taken in 1987: www.flickr.com/photos/28083135@N06/11825134276/in/photostream/
will you film Gardners at some point?
Yeah, Dagenham Docks crossing still existed when the CTRL was built but it closed a year later
Nathan A RF yeah
I do hope to film the crossings from here to Pitsea, including the never filmed before Gardners and Vange Wharf crossings (there is CCTV of Vange Wharf LC being smashed by a lorry but that's it)
Nathan A RF yeah. one if the barrier arms was damaged at Vange Wharf.
Why do the traffic lights go out when the barrier's down? Shouldn't they keep flashing when a train's coming?
This is special
Nathan A RF hhh
i have never seen a special level crossing before i have seen lots of normal ones which section of the c2c line is it on
it does save power though
This crossing's default barrier position is down, the lights only flash when they are going down and switch off afterwards. The barriers only go up when someone wants to cross.
The alarm is failing.

Unfortunately they removed this one. I found another similar crossing near Stanford-le-hope. This only accords to Google Maps, though.
I have filmed another similar crossing (MCB-OC) but on a farm track; Gardners LC
Why do the crossing lights go off when the barriers are down?
It's a special crossing
what does the crossing lights turn off
level crossings and Formula 1 cars because the barriers stay down unless someone presses the button
oh is it like appleford level crossing

Ok man cheers for the reply, do you have any videos of intercity 125 level crossings or know their names so I could look them up?

British Transport Police.
Why do some trains need live wires?
use roblox because they are electric trains. Most electric trains use overhead wires but the south uses 3rd rail.
To save electricity
The crossing has now been removed sadly
Soooo, the crossing doesn't involve cars, but people?
Just people who want to get to a road covered in landfill
