Repairing a broken barrier at Newhaven Level Crossing 

That used to be my job as Barrier operator. Both Barriers on the side of facing traffic will always go down first. then the exit side will go down last in case someone is late crossing the line. it allows them to clear before the last barrier is lowered. they shouldn't, in reality, be on the crossing as the lights will have been flashing for some time. But some crossings are in towns where queuing traffic sometimes blocks the crossing as drivers ignore the yellow box junction. we still got idiots who decide the gates are only there for others and the law doesn't apply to them. gates can be manually controlled with a key to unlock and then using the controls in the lineside box if it's a long way from crossing box. once we are informed a train is coming we stop traffic if nec and operate the lights and get the barrier down. but it's a lot more difficult if the power is off and we have to hand pump them up. they will fall quite well with gravity.

3:31 Nathan, I think its so pedestrians can walk trough when there is no train

4:10 I believe that this is to enable function testing of the crossing

on the broken barrier the crossing was acting like an ahb

good but why won't the barriers going back up

3:37: In case of blind people.

Very interesting, thank you.

Good work orange teams!

5:02 They could have just deactivated the wigwag lights (those lights you find at level crossings in the UK) to avoid confusion.

5:00 I thought that they were not allowed to do that?

Why’s this level Crossing has a noisy alarm

It’s Like An AHB

That equipment looks both expensive and fiddly to fix/upgrade; moreover so does checking that everything works in the correct sequence such as the yodalarms sounding as soon as the amber light appears until - in the case of the level crossing shown - all the barriers have closed on a full barrier crossing. Hats off to those workers and people who deliberately misuse level crossings should be ashamed of themselves

I thought New Haven Harbor was abandoned?

Nice Crossing and Video!👍🏻 Great explanation of subtitles in the video!👍🏻

It sounds like walbrook wharfs alarm a 0.5x

That happened to Barmouth

Bit of a noisy alarm.
