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!
