Love the little rattle the barriers make when they reach the fully up 😂

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah that's quite common with these small barriers lol

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Well what a pleasant surprise this is! You've finally filmed here at last!!! I was literally at this crossing 9 days before you were! A fabulous crossing it is, and I didn't notice them barrier lights were not working when I was there, and I filmed 7 closures! Awesome video, UKLCC - to see you upload a video of this crossing pleasantly startles me as much as those alarms did 👍😁

Do York got level crossing friend

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

@@pigeonsandtrafficlights8999 There are quite a few level crossings around York, so you're correct in thinking that 😎

[@DPTrains]

If you mean york itself then there’s nether poppleton and the haxby crossings, there’s loads more in the county yorkshire

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you! 😁 I knew you'd be surprised to see this. I was glad I filmed it when being up in the area.

[@DPTrains]

This is a lovely video of a lovely crossing! :D

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thanks and yes indeed 😁

[@MGRinger02]

It's about time that these barriers got renewed!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah it is, they're so old

[@NELincsTransport]

Great video

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you ☺️

[@freebrickproductions]

Thanks! 😁

At the risk of looking like a complete twonk, exactly how are the lights malfunctioning? They look fine to me, but then again I’m used to the American crossing signals.

[@crusherbarny]

Theres lights on the actual barrier and its thos that arnt working

[@dragondancer1814]

Ginge Fletcher Ah, I see that now! Thanks for the clarification!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yes, it's the barrier lights on the nearest barrier that are broken. These barriers are from the 1960s / 1970s so they are really old, and in need of replacement

[@FlashingRedProductions]

@UK Level Crossings Channel They’re from the mid-1980s actually.

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

@@FlashingRedProductions Ah right, I knew you'd know, thanks 😁

[@FlashingRedProductions]

I think I know what's happened here I think the wire has got Los

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

These barriers are several years old so there's probably been a break in the wires somewhere

[@delta.australia]

Are the lights, like, not working? Never even turned on?

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

The nearest barriers' lights are not working

[@L3N-fs8yp]

Are the lights really broke?

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

The barrier lifts weren't turned on I believe.

[@pigeonsandtrafficlights8999]

That to fast

[@mimilocks]
