Also known as Boldon Lane Level Crossing.
One of eight crossings found on the Tyne and Wear Metro, operated by Nexus. At this crossing, and two others nearby, the metro is shared with the mainline Durham Coast Line which is served by Northern services. This makes the section of line through West and East Boldon busy for trains. The other two crossings, Tile Shed and East Boldon, can be seen from this crossing.
Thanks For Watching!

Thanks!

Very good video! It is cool how these are shared by metro and mainline trains on the same infrastructure and under the same signalling (AFAIK).

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you! The metro was quite interesting as it seems to run on mainline standard signalling but obviously the crossings, signage etc are more suited to a tram or light rail system, so its like a hybrid thing.
