If you pass the stop sign when the lights are amber you keep moving forward, if they are flashing red you must stop at the stop mark. The father should have stopped but decided to beat the barrier, putting himself and kid at risk.

Yeah, a little irresponsible of the father for running across like that. Could've been a different situation had the signalman not been looking. You could hear the whistles down at Kingswear station, the valley and River Dart create an echo.

Nice to see the old GWE barriers why is there two barriers on one side and one in the other side?

[@JamesTorson]

On an unrelated note, I was passing by a business site with barriers the other day, you know, the kind where a guard in the gatehouse presses a button to let you in, and the barriers had skirts on both sides of the arms; that is, they were designed to prevent people climbing over as well as crawling under. I was wondering why we don't see that on level crossings given that some people are inclined to climb over the barriers?

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yes, I've seen many of those types of barriers, mainly seen at docks / ports or secured industrial sites. I don't know why they are not used at crossings. It's probably because the ones in existence are too expensive for the railways to use (not very efficient). It would perhaps be a good idea to include these barriers at crossings with multiple misuse or trespass incidents.

[@samuelfellows6923]

Or replace the pivoting barriers with tall sliding gates (that would certainly work - like that of a fence) 😉

[@emudeluxe789]

OMG THAT WAS SO FREAKING SCARY!!! If that crossing was automated she wouldve gotten trapped

Yeah ikr, it was lucky the signalman is right beside the crossing here. The little girl would've risked injury or trapped by the lowering barriers had this been automated 😐😐

[@emudeluxe789]

yeah! now I know that if anyone gets trapped on a signalbox controlled crossing all I'd do is go up to the signal box and do a little SOS dance.

[@PottersVideos2]

Most likely not true as on an automatic crossing (with full barriers), the crossing has to be proven clear before the train can be signalled across. On an Automatic Half Barrier crossing, the barriers only cover half of the road.

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

There are now such types of full barriers which are locally monitored. They're known as AFBCLs but there's only three in existence at the moment. But yeah, you're right about the full barriers and half barriers.

😮 - must have a window that overlooks the crossing and 2 buttons under it - red; opens/closes crossing, green; a light turns on at the station to indicate to conductor that the train can proceed and drops the signal to the driver (W - blows whistle to warn of approaching train)

[@robtyman4281]

Well it's a single track line so it would be! The steam train means that this is probably a 'Heritage line' ....that means it's owned and run privately, and is not under the control of the regular British railway network. It's not part of the modern network and exists separately from it. I think this line could be the Paignton - Kingswear heritage railway in Devon, England.

[@GreatLeviathen]

Hmm so there is someone that closes these gates manually? That is cool! Over here it's all fully automatic with sensors on the track etc

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah, these are whats known as Manually Controlled Barrier (MCBs) crossings in the UK, as opposed to our Automatic crossings. The MCB types usually have full barriers crossing the whole road and are monitored by signallers so barriers or sequence is stopped if crossing is obstructed. Trains will be cleared to proceed past the crossing once lowered and confirmed clear. Automatic crossings usually have half barriers or no barriers at all and are fully automatic with sensors on tracks. As a result, barriers are usually lowered for less time on automatic crossings.

[@GreatLeviathen]

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

When i was route learning whilst with BR one line had 12 foot crossings ( farm and self operated ) although you were supposed to ring the signalman to check if line was clear and 8 road crossings of which 2 had automatic half barriers and one only had traffic lights and no barriers at all. It had aws signals at either end but semaphore signals everywhere else. You would only know there had been an accident when you next went down the branch line and there would be flowers on the fence. This was in the 1980s a d 1990s, seems people do not learn that given the odds of a train travelling at speed and weighing several hundred tonnes and soft humans, humans will lose out every time. A grain travelling even at moderate speed still needs at least 1/4 mile to stop. You will lose, do not try to beat it.
