Busy crossing located in Bulwell, north of Nottingham. It is one of several main line standard level crossings on the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) tramway. One track is used by trams on the NET, and the other line is used by main line trains, running between Nottingham and either Worksop or Mansfield Woodhouse. As a result, it makes it one of the busiest crossings for trains (and trams) in the UK. This crossing has full barriers which are monitored via CCTV. Main line trains have standard colour-aspect protecting signals for this crossing, whilst the tramway uses dedicated tram signals at either side of the crossing. There are a total of six warning lights, four barriers and four alarms.
Thanks For Watching!

Nice one! This crossing is that busy for a 2 track line, I’ve gotten a quadruple closure before

Wow, nice. I've managed to get a triple pass at the nearby Brickyard Lane half barrier crossing just up the line from here.

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel thing is though, this is my local crossing so I go here a lot. It’s fairly rare to get a quadruple closure but not as rare as other crossings in the UK

Brilliant video! Looks a good place to record as I bet the barriers are constantly up and down for the trams, as well as the trains when they arrive. Those trams do accelerate quickly!

NET does stand for Nottingham Express transit lol

South East Level Crossings & Trains Channel Thanks 👍👍 It was definitely a busy crossing, one of the busiest in the country for sure.

I signal the area that covers this crossing, it is down every 6/8 minutes when the trams are running. Because of this, and it being a CCTV crossing, it is a nightmare for us signallers and loads of misuse!

@@benchamp It sounds quite interesting having both trains and trams to signal. Where is the crossing controlled from out of interest?

@@SouthEastLevelCrossings we only signal the trains, the trams are signalled by the NET guys. Their trams just activate the crossing which we then observe and clear. The crossing is controlled at the EMCC in Derby.
