A level crossing found next to Narborough Railway Station, in between the villages of Narborough and Littlethorpe just outside of Leicester. This level crossing is not as busy for pedestrians and vehicles as may be expected. A very recently-painted footbridge allows pedestrians to safely bypass the lowered barriers, and connects the two platforms of the station here which is served hourly in each direction during the off-peak. Both of the alarms here look rather old, yet they sound at a reasonable volume and work well, and their sound is almost identical to that made by the alarms at Rainham Level Crossing in Kent.
Two lowerings are featured in this video. The first features a pair of class 66s passing with only two empty flat-bed wagons, the leading locomotive of which gave a horn salute as it passed non-stop through the station. In the second lowering, a stopping Birmingham-bound passenger service was stopped in the station for much longer than usual.
Thanks for watching!
