This crossing had an upgrade in June, as part of a new signalling system on the Shepperton line, done by 'Atkins'. The crossing now has newer LED warning lights, new 'e2s' alarms and new barrier units by 'Newgate'. The barrier units are the first in the UK, and have been installed elsewhere, including at several upgrades in Norfolk. The crossing previously had 'SPX Rail Systems' barriers, older LED warning lights and 'Yodalarms'.
Thanks For Watching!
A new week, and new upgrades at the crossing...there’s a certain symmetry to that! And the double-decker bus is an unexpected and wonderful treat! That combination definitely made my day, thank you!
Lol 😉
It was a very busy bus route as there were buses here every 5-10 minutes. No problem 😎
Most of which were double deckers 😊
Imagine how many train stations this lad has to wait at to get this kinda content
Quite a lot, many hours spent 😊
WE LIVE THERE!!! We have crossed this many times but not since the new barriers have been installed. Can’t wait!!
Cool 😎 It has had new barriers, new lights and new alarms, so a complete upgrade 👌
Very nice protected crossing. Gives you plenty, and I mean plenty, of time before the train comes.
Oh yeah definitely lol
I love the UK
An interesting but weird looking upgrade at the same time! Funny how SPX barrier arms have been used. Having said that, nothing will beat the usual SPX standards IMO. Great video though! 😁👍👍
Thanks Will 👍 I quite like these barriers - they're something different at least 😎
New gate is my favourite level crossing
great
Thanks! 👍
Excellent video! I do quite like this upgrade tbf - I like how the barriers operate silently here, although I do wish they kept the old wigwags and yodalarms if I'm honest. I'm stood there somewhere... possible far back 😉👍🏻😁
Thank you! 😎 It's quite an interesting crossing - glad we visited 😉
your channels look so similar are you brothers or something 😂
@@selfawaresnow We're friends, Caleb decided to start his channel around a year ago 😊 I've been doing mine for over 4 years
*oh*
Very nice video
Thanks 😊
Nice! These were the barriers that were meant to be trialled at Chilworth in 2016. I wonder what the next crossing will be to get these? If they do them in long, large, full barrier types, maybe Chard Junction could get two of these in the November barrier renewal?
Thanks! 😎 It definitely appears these were the barriers that were suppose to replace Chilworth's GWEs, considering the barriers here were manufactured in 2016. The barriers and upgrade come with a new signalling solution by 'Atkins', which I believe was suppose to be used at Chilworth. I'm not sure if these barriers will be installed seperately, or whether they're used in conjunction with this digitally-enabled signalling system, so it's a wait and see I guess 🙂
Not much of a difference. I'm still surprised at how long of a wait time you have until the train arrives.
Yeah, it's still quite a long wait surprisingly
Great video
Thanks 😎
This upgrades is bit on the down side with me. I will always think with SPX Barriers.
I think it's alright - but SPX Barriers are the most common of course 😉
Do you know what these barrier units are called?
Nice catch 😉
Thanks! 😄
Great video! Those look a lot like SPX gate mechs, IMHO.
Thanks! The barrier arms are exactly the same, but the barrier unit / motor drive is different, made by Atkins
What class is that?
In the description, a 456 (2-car) with a 455
