Thanks very much! 👍👍 I can see how one with an acquired taste could like the sounds of those alarms, but in truth, I do wish they weren't sounding so much haha. Can certainly see a variety of rolling stock from a variety of TOCs if you spend a little time here too 😊

Thanks! One of the trackside alarms was a little faulty, and one of the crossing's alarms was flat as you may have heard.

Thanks! You're right; at first, I didn't mind the sounds, but as they are very loud and were continuously sounding in one tone or the other, it did get annoying after a while!

I mentioned in the description. That came from Engineers' approach alarms, which were warning on-site track workers of approaching trains when their tones changed. It was quite annoying that they were bleeping away for the entire time though

Thanks! 😁 That certainly was a funny co-incidence haha. Those alarms were sounding for the entire time, and they were really loud (all understandable as there were workers about). When I was walking to Gills, the path took me really quite close to one of those alarms, and they're very loud!

It seemed as though they were all YO5-type Yodalarms, but one near the Gills FPC may have been a YA50 as it sounded like a very loud YA30.

I don't think there was. The alarms on the trackside did produce different sounds, but they all appeared to be of the same kind.

Those loud alarms are for the trackside workers. The level crossing itself does have its own alarms to warn of the barriers lowering too, though these are reasonably quiet. There's a footpath crossing nearby, and those trackside alarms would definitely be very useful for partially-sighted people, as that level crossing doesn't have its own alarms.

Okay, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation

Thanks!
