Nice video and amazing to think that these crossings are active as they are currently. The trains get so close to the road before the crossing lights and sirens start going off
Excellent videos! These are certainly two cool crossings, especially Yaxham Road under that fly-over. Strange how that white light was flashing for the direction against the travel of that Pacer too!
Many crossings are set up, someone even managed to crash their car into the rear of a train at night because the crossing had opened with the rear of said train on the crossing (and without any lights or reflectors visible to the car driver)...
This crossing is dangerous in my opinion because it doesn’t have gates to completely protect the tracks most level crossing in the uk have gates but this crossing doesn’t so it’s a very high risk of collisions with cars and trains
One day there is going to be an accident at that level crossing where someone jumps the lights and gets hit by the train, they need to put gates there.
Nope, quite fine on a low-speed line and road. Just a few miles away the Bure Valley has level crossings with no gates, lights or anything - yet people cope just fine.

If it was a network fail crossing then the lights and alarms would go off about a week before the train got there
Some Brilliant Shots!👍🏻👍🏻 Nice to still have the Halogens here!

It's supposed to, both ways will flash white.
Love these two crossings! I miss pacers, Great video!
Nice Cspture/s😊👍🏾
Excellent Catches 👍
Uk level crossing spoter
Notice how the lights turn off at 5.02 before the train has finished going across the crossing & again at 6.42
Is it just me, the light at the crossing come on dangerously late about 7 seconds before the train arrives plus no barriers ? 🤔👍🚄
@5:06 The lights stopped before the train had cleared the crossing!

You can have an opinion, but could I ask if the fact that traffic lights and pedestrian crossings also don't have barriers scares you?
Imagine waiting to cross the road and barriers come down when the green man shows

Or, maybe, people need to learn to drive their road vehicles and cope with a level crossing just as they are supposed to cope with traffic lights?
are you scared of the fact traffic lights dont have barriers?
So unsafe without barriers

are you really that scared over ungated crossing?
Don’t visit Alderney then. The level crossings there are just give way signs!
