Nice one! They did the same sequence where all of the barriers lower at once with Barmouth South level crossing. Probably the rarest sequence you can catch at a level crossing.
I saw the engineering team when I was here and I saw the trains were held up by the signals before the level crossing and sounded the horn to the engineers for this month of march this year
Thanks you! This is one of my locals too. I noticed that barrier getting slower about a month before this happened, so I saw it coming from a mile off.
The Z and Y comes from which side of the crossing the barrier is on. On the railway, there’s an “up” line (towards a major town/city) and “down” line (away from a major town/city). “Z” refers to the barrier on the “down” side, “Y” refers to the barrier on the “up” side.
I think the way it works is that one track is called the “up”, while the other is called the “down”, even if they’re bi-directional. Sometimes, barriers aren’t labelled though so it can be hard to tell which side of the crossing is the “up” side or “down side”
Great video! I'm suprised this hasn't happened to feniton as the barriers are awful there!
Yeah, plus the alarms were identical to this crossing.
Thank you!
I know

That barrier's had problems before, as in one of your older videos from 2015, it did the exact same thing, but reversed.
Interesting video, enjoyed this!
Great video as always 👍
Thanks!
YO Barrier: packs up
Network Rail: we hate this barrier, we hate coming to blakedown
Breakdown Station Level Crossing 💀
“Breakdown” LC indeed.
There was the incident support unit this morning Will and a network rail guy seemingly operating things
This level crossing is in one of my local areas. That barrier has had problems for a long time.
Great video though.

Strange what happened there! Great Video though! 👍🏻
Thanks!
The barrier was slow 😂
Blakedown ❌ breakdown ✅
I was gonna make that joke until I saw your comment lol
Btw, how do I know whether a barrier is Z or Y? I know for N and O btw
The Z and Y comes from which side of the crossing the barrier is on. On the railway, there’s an “up” line (towards a major town/city) and “down” line (away from a major town/city). “Z” refers to the barrier on the “down” side, “Y” refers to the barrier on the “up” side.
@@FlashingRedProductions bit confusing with my local LC then bc trains go up and down line. One track is for trains and one is for trams

Breakdown again
