Thank you for your comment and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I used to film here quite often before doing RUclips and when the service through Coalville were quite regular. Unfortunately now your lucky to see anything come through so I try to pop over whenever anything dose, but be reassured it won’t be 3 years till you see another video of this crossing.
I was wondering about Coalville after Joe Thorpes video in 2020 of these newly installed barriers. Thanks for filming this to update us on the crossing! But please film the crossing head on instead of on the rail side.
Thank you for your comment. I believe that the barriers were replaced sometime between late July / early August of 2020 like you stated. I do appreciate the comment on filming the crossings head on however it would have been tricky to have filmed them head on and got back to position in time. Also the reason for me filming where I did was to capture the loco and rolling stock with the old railway hotel in the background as it is a historic link to Coalville’s railway heritage. However in future if time is permitting I will make sure to film them head on as I understand it is also something of great interest to others. Thanks.
Awesome video! Thanks for filming this crossing BTW, as it has not been filmed in a while, like 3 years!
