Unique level crossing near Althorpe and right beside the Stainforth and Keadby Canal and Keadby Power Station. This crossing only has two barriers and two rather old sounding alarms. The barriers are opened on request by pressing a button for 3 seconds. The crossing is monitored from the Keadby Canal Junction signal box about 150 yards from the crossing. No trains were featured in this video.
Thanks For Watching!

Great video! Love how the buttons have the instructions written on them using a label maker, lol. Also always interesting how the alarms briefly sound when the gate arms fully raise.

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you 😎 Yeah, it’s certainly quite an interesting crossing. What’s also quite weird is seeing the signage say “bells” rather than alarms, so it’s quite obvious what this crossing used to have.

That's a fantastic level crossing! I love such unusual crossings! Great video!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you 😁

[@jackmctaggartfm8087]

I think they might of made a mistake on the alarm tones here lol

[@387FanGatwick]

The alarm sounds like a bagpipe

Great video. Can't wait for the end of year completion

[@PlyingKibbles89]

Great video! Surprised there’s no wigwags here like other request crossings.

[@AutoUnder]

Faulty YO3 and a YA30 set on the wrong tone!! Great video

[@mathisfuturagriculteur4541]

I think they got the dial tone wrong, they switched to the French fire alarm lol. Good video i like a railroad crossing

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

This feels, like the old Retford Gringley Road. I reel like at least a couple Wigwags, would be useful here and make it a proper *on call* crossing

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah, it does seem a little odd without warning lights. The signaller can see this crossing from the signal box so can easily tell if its clear or not.

nice day for it

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

It wasn't too bad, certainly not the worst

[@DutchRailroads]

Great video!!

[@roadsignaluk4592]

wow, what a nice, weird crossing. When this crossing was filmed, the filmer was wearing a yellow T-shirt

[@roadsignaluk4592]

oh no...

[@AndrooUK]

That's a French or German standard fire alarm sound used by the sounder (can't recall which specifically).

[@elisouille_buscarscamions]

It's Frenches one

[@isaacwareing952]

@UK Level Crossings - did you notice that the alarm actually turned on for a second? Crazy right?

[@greatgordonfan7094]

Interestingly, this type of crossing is common in Poland.

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah I’ve seen many other European crossings which are quite similar, mostly those with old barriers in Germany. Nice to know they’re common in Poland.

[@greatgordonfan7094]

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Ok, maybe that's an overstatement, but It's more common in europe than in the UK.

[@Isaac2012YT]

Wow good find the buttons on each side are different

[@DeeSock]

Sounds like Scottish bandpipe to me

[@amandasmith3303]

That's a strange alarm but i sort of like it!

[@SouthCoastTrains]

That alarm gave mea headache
