Yeah I wasn’t expecting to see that at all, also well surprised by how loud the alarms are, when we first saw it, I was like “OMG LOOK AT THAT” wonder how many more strange MWLS I’ll come across.

And the only one with outward facing sounders/alarms, put under the lights? All the other crossings have the alarms pointing into the crossing ~ mounted behind the wig-wags

I did see that aswell, would of great editing if it was fake hahaha

That’s for manual gated crossings that are guarded by a crossing keeper, not Userwork crossings for people to use. That’ll be far too dangerous.

@@JTCrossingsUK 100%, in that scenario, if someone left the gates open they'd be ploughed out of the way by the next train

Me neither mate, when we got there, I was like “OMG LOOK AT THAT” presume some other people will visit it now lol.

Damn, but then wasn't this also the crossing where someone missed the MSLs and got hit, with an RAIB report [07/2016] about it? Presumably that's why they put them there, I guess?

Thank you, and yeah I was well surprised when I first saw it.

Thanks mate, and yeah it’s certainly something I didn’t expect to see, hope they use VMS signals one day lol

@@JTCrossingsUK Yeah, you can't call these MWLs either as they're far from miniature 😂

The red and green lights are automatic, and are not controlled by the signaller “Use telephone if crossing with large or slow, low or long vehicles, or with animals” Although it does seem like you have to phone when crossing with most types of vehicles, you don’t have to phone when driving across in a car, and you also don’t have to phone if crossing as a pedestrian, although I don’t think this crossing would get much pedestrian traffic

It’s certainly something, I god knows what made NR install them, obviously got to be some reason haha.

@@JTCrossingsUK Maybe visibility reasons? After all, those use much larger lenses than a standard MWL signal.

@@freebrickproductions but when your close to them, there quite hard to see, and the typical ones are just as good if not better to see than these ones to see. The normal ones are certainly easier to see up close

@@JTCrossingsUK Indeed, my guess was just for being able to see 'em better from a distance.

It seems as though NR installed them because of this crash that happened a few or so years ago: www.gov.uk/government/news/raib-report-072016-collision-between-train-and-tractor

You never know, they might start spreading them out more now lol

@@JTCrossingsUK they may well do

I'd jump out of my skin and nearly pee myself like I do at other level crossings!

It previously had the usual warning lights on foot crossings, but I presume after an accident that happened here they made it more clear? Not sure.

I thought at first the manual gate was a backup in case the electric gate wasn't working. But then it looks like the manual crossing doesn't even link up with the road, it just goes to that field?

Which bits have been removed?

@@adrianthoroughgood1191 The third set of lights, and the rare signals.
