A rather small obstacle detection level crossing located within Attleborough, Norfolk, on a narrow lane which only leads to farmland other than only a few houses. This level crossing was fully renewed in 2012 during re-signalling on the line, and a lot of the equipment here has seen better days as one of the rather quiet alarms here is faulty, and one of the two full-road-width barriers rests on the floor after striking it rather vigorously despite dampening, and this is down to the uneven road surface on that side of the level crossing. It also appears that one of the wigwags here has been struck at one point, and the only single pair of lidars located in the middle of the level crossing remain open all the time, rather than only opening as the barriers lower before closing again.
Thanks for watching!

How many Lincoln versions are in Norfolk

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

They're not 'Lincoln versions'. They're obstacle detection level crossings. Only a few exist within Norfolk and they're all on the same line
