Fantastic video James. Well done for capturing what was a momentous day from so many angles. It was nice to meet you after the final departure. It's always good to put a face to the names on here.
I seem to remember the crossing was managed by attendants who put manual barriers in place when it was time for departure. I don't think the signal box was controlling movements or equipment, the barriers at the crossing further up the line were controlled locally by an attendant.
now the track is nearly all gone. the harbour level crossing is not there but the other crossing is but it is all chained up. abd soon the old line will be turned into a walk way for people.
It's good the company that own the line now have kept the majority of the track,and although now a walkway, the decking can be removed easily should they want to run trains again. Tbh, it would only be a good thing in future to run trains again, as a money generator with shuttles up and down the line,and visiting railtours. Knowing someone who is a manager there, he says it will likely happen one day.
Brilliant video.. Typical example of a Stagecoach bus driver though.. selfish company which has blighted the whole country with it's awful red white blue & orange and crap service. Lovely to see Ollie Cromwell running. That was my first ever Hornby steam engine too way back in the 60s.

Why didn't the level crossing barriers lower? Was it a malfunction? 8:10
