Had a delivery in London last month, satnav brought me here (which was frustrating due to my schedule). I enjoyed it, it was fun and my first time on a Ferry.
I too was baffled by this... Traditionally; it 'normally' goes, amber > wig-wag THEN barriers lower. I also note the right set activated independently before the left one... At the end of the day; the safety systems all seem to be working well, regardless of the wig-wags.
Especially with one ferry running, it would seem like it's worth driving to another crossing point. However the nearest crossing point which is the Blackwall Tunnel gets quite congested, particularly during rush-hour. So for some it's easier to wait for the ferry.

Wow so cool! I like how they have train barriers and lights for the bridge crossing
Yeah it's quite cool and somewhere you wouldn't expect them
@UKLevelCrossingsChannel The South side is very cool aswell
Good video Jamie!
Very interesting! 🙂👍
Agreed!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😁
The first alarm at the end sounded like baggage claim at the airport. Then it sounded like 2 different alarms! Interesting and unusual!
This is rather peculiar, especially with the barrier going down before the wigwags even came on?? Nice Video.

@RileysTransportVideos Yeah it is quite weird. It appears the barriers and warning lights (wigwags) are operated independently of each other.
@SouthLightFX Yeah, all the lights are used for is to stop traffic from entering the ramps when there's no ferry.
A Brilliant Video!😁👍🏻👍🏻 Hope you enjoyed yourself!
Thank you 😁 It was a nice crossing despite lasting 10mins 😂
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Yeah I guess it was a wait haha 😂
How these bridge-crossings work are really good! Plus the bell sounds are nice as well!
Great video!!

I bloody love this
Great to hear. It was good fun filming it 😊

Makes you wonder with that amount of time it takes surely it'd be quicker to drive to the nearest bridge lol
