Saturday July 11 2015 at 7.30. The 7.02 Doncaster to Sheffield (7.40) train and, at the end, the 7.15 Sheffield to Swinton (7.36) train. The sign calls this Holmes LC as Holmes station used to be here but that closed in 1955. Confusingly its sometimes called Holmes Junction LC too or even Psalters Lane LC. Rotherham has 2 level crossings and this is the main one with 186 trains a day using it. 107 seconds of the wait here was cut out so the barriers were lowered over 4 minutes before the train arrived. This is totally unacceptable. In 2009 the barriers here were damaged 3 times by drivers trying to avoid waiting. At the end is a snippet of the crossing filmed from the other side showing the sort of site it is and the early morning work vehicles that had been delayed. The barriers that time had been lowered just under 4 minutes before the train arrived.
