Also known as Fawdon Lane Level Crossing.
One of five open level crossings (without barriers) and one of eight crossings in total of the Tyne and Wear Metro, operated by Nexus. This crossing only has warning lights (wigwags) and alarms to warn of trains. The metro has five of these crossings, making them all quite unique as they are frequently used by metro trains every hour. They are by far the busiest mainline specification open crossings in the UK. For each open crossing, there was a speed limit set at 15km/h (10mph) for all metrocars and every one must sound their horn before passing.
Thanks For Watching!

Superb video! This crossing is crazy busy with road traffic and foot fall for an ungated one. It can be much busier than seen here.

Interesting how this train crossing has flashing, slightly amber, pedestrian yet other car crossings have red man

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

The pedestrian red man lights are always red. The only amber / yellow light is seen on the road warning lights (wigwags) which have two red and one amber light.
