*Dangerously Early Raise ,Triple Emergency Sequence, Cancelled Closure* Barmouth South LC, Gwynedd

[@RRMDARTS180]

Did anyone notice that at 12:40 before the cancelled closure the alarm went off before the Amber light went on.

[@UKHeritageRailways]

The gates are under manual control. That early opening is finger trouble by the operator. If you look at 4:50 you can see the guy on the platform operating them from the control panel.

[@JPLCUK]

Yes, this crossing is a TMOB, and the train crew operates it . Since there's no local control, they have to use the driver pedestals

​@JPLCUK you are best ❤

The OOH Got me dying on the floor

[@sebasreyesviajaenmioOFFICIAL]

Geez what is happening? to the crossing?

[@JPLCUK]

It's confused

[@andrewpickard3230]

Health and Safety will be having a nervous brake down.

[@mjt8199]

Doesn't this crossing have a local control panel? I'd have thought it would be manually controlled when within a possession.

[@taylord9587]

it is manually controlled but I’m assuming the track circuit is the thing that reopens the crossing after the train passes through the crossing

[@BRLCATUK]

@@taylord9587it hasn’t got a local control panel so they have to use the driver pedestals and the crossing thinks that the trains passed

[@jonathanpringle8238]

if i lived next to that i would be well pissed off withover 50 closure plus alarms

[@JSlevelcrossingandtrains]

Geez the crossing is out of control again

[@JPLCUK]

Very

[@Ravenslofty]

as somebody not familiar with the ins-and-outs of railway crossings, what differentiates a standard closure from an emergency sequence? is it just the timespan before closing?

[@TotherKoala]

Also the yellow light is skipped so it goes Activate -> red lights and close Instead of Activate -> warning light -> red light and close

[@arcanekand]

The crossing is not malfunctioning it is a TOMB crossing (trainman operated crossing with barriers) it is operated by the guard using a control box on the side of the tracks and is why trains always come to a full stop before crossing(on tomb crossings). the crossing uses lidar to detect the train has passed (the lidar sensor is located on the signpost entering/exiting the station) which is why the barriers open once one of the maintenance vehicles had passed the sensor with one still on the crossing.

[@richardsterne2875]

Got sick of seeing the ends of the barriers when they open!!!

[@lincolnarmasols283]

It wasn't a track circuit malfunction it was the EO on the platform who was at fault,there operating on local control for the work.

[@JPLCUK]

This crossing doesn't have local control

[@SouthWestCrossingsUK]

Great video!

[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Great video 👍

[@kevfrombutterley]

Some of those early opens were ridiculous. The guys didn't seem massively impressed.

[@JPLCUK]

Yeah, I think the barriers are confused since there's RRVs everywhere

[@rainsterfan]

Ah, Barmouth LC at its finest!

[@christophercharles3467]

JP Oh dear on film think of the paperwork.

[@JPLCUK]

If we switched to treadles, it won't be an issue

[@levelcrossingtraveller]
