Aylesford Village Level Crossing

Two Class 375s in Southeastern livery and a Class 66 in GBRf livery head toward Aylesford station and Maidstone Barracks respectively. The crossing was upgraded around three years ago, but hasn't aged a bit. There is no mould or broken pieces apart from the complete infestation of ladybirds. There must have been about 1000 on the barriers, lights and surrounding trees. I counted 23 on me at one point. The freight train was the same one seen on the Isle of Grain later, a regular but not very common movement.
Route: Medway Valley Line
County: Kent
Train 1: 2:34
Closure 2: 2:54
Train 2: 5:40

A very quiet alarm

Nice. I thought you were going to visit here eventually. I was away when you must've visited I think. God knows why the crossing was lowered for about 7 minutes! It's suppose to be down for no longer than 3.

It was a quick decision, as the line I wanted to do was closed for engineering work. There were two trains in the second closure, a 375 in blue and a Class 66 also seen later on the Isle of Grain.

Great video! I always seem to get Aylesford and Alresford confused for some reason. Interesting that Mr. Mini-Motorcycle-Man remains behind the stop line in the second part of the video yet illegally didn't in the first half (plus overtook traffic on double-white lines).

Well all people who drive motorcycles are mongs. Even more confusing is that there are two Aylesford and two Alresford crossings! And that there are two Alresford stations in the country!
