[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Excellent video and Crossing 👍

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thank you very much!

[@NWLevelCrossings]

Excellent Videos and Shots! 👍🏻👍🏻 Really like these bells especially when they still remain by 2024!

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thanks a lot!

[@glenncooney3959]

I love how the bells go out of sync, but alternate so smoothly.

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Agreed!

[@JPLCUK]

Nice video can't believe the dragged there child across in Closure 3

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thanks! They consciously decided not to use the footbridge right next to them!

[@Ur_Depressed_Railfan]

Nice! They sound ultimately healthy

[@nicktheroyalturner3370]

Great work 👍

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thank you! :)

Great video and crossing! TBH, this is easily one of my favorites, if not my favorite, in Greater London. I always do wonder what gate mechs these originally had, given that the bells are mounted on two of the masts rather than within the gate mechs. The horn salutes you got were neat as well.

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thank you very much! I am really fond of this one too. This had GWE barriers up until 2008/2009 from 1973.

Great video! Has Petersfield recieved its upgrade yet?

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thank you! I believe it was completed and opened at the start of this week.

@@SouthEastLevelCrossings it was I just went there lol

[@Alfieslevelcrossings]

The bells are out of sync. But atleast this has bells and not e2s alarms.

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Indeed. Glad it still has them.

[@TheosTrainsWalesOfficial]

@@SouthEastLevelCrossings The bells will stay, as they're loud enough as it is.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Very great video of the older style bell equipped level crossing I don’t know how rare these are compared to the modern siren type alarm level crossings

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Thank you very much! Bells are very rare over here, especially externally-mounted ones.

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@SouthEastLevelCrossings it’s interesting that these bells are mounted on the signal on the other level crossings I’ve seen the bells are mounted on the the gate barrier signal

[@Carolb66]

Oh love the bells! Never heard anything like those before, sounds like someone ringing a handheld church bell! Like the one arm full closure also. Very nice crossing. Great catches esp out of the tunnel. The signal box still there is it still in use? ❤😊👍

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Very glad you enjoyed the video! The crossing box is indeed still in use, primarily in control of the barriers under supervision of a much larger signalling centre these days though.
