(BRAND NEW LEDs) Stow Bardolph Level Crossing, Norfolk (03/01/25)

The end of an era!!! All 5 NRS halogen wigwags and Smiths Industry barriers from 1992 have been removed and probably scrapped. Alongside this, a new Moflash speaker has been added to the existing backbox of the likely Signature Industries YO3/RF2. The new LEDs do look good I must admit... The sun sets on the halogen Kings Lynn branch after the renewal of halogens at Kings Lynn Tennyson and Extons, Littleport Bypass and Watlington Road within the 2020s. I have got videos of this crossing halogen which will release in the coming months.

Nicely done! This crossing was well overdue a wig-wag renewal (and barriers too, to a lesser extent), as the equipment had been in use for 32 years!

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Thank you very much! The whole crossing was in a state and I was surprised to see it last until 2024 earliest...

[@Southeast-planes-trains]

Very nice

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

!Thanks

[@SouthWestCrossingsUK]

Well that marks the end of an era, the last crossing on the Kings Lynn branch to go LED

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Awhhh that is a shame to see this get renewed, but I am so surprised it has taken them this long given the state it was in. Another set of halogens gone now, the last on the Kings Lynn line. Nice vids though, glad to see the tall lights kept!

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Agreed, and surprised to see it LED with it spending so long in a state of disrepair.

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

Wow I am so overjoyed. 😞

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

I'm overjoyed to have posted it first 😂

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

@ElectraLevelCrossings we probably would have all felt that way
Nice video quality btw

[@ChilternRailPhotography]

it is a real shame the halogens are gone but nice video

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Cheers! It was bound to happen at some point within the near future...

[@mkasrailwaysliftsmore8005]

About time this crossing got some bloody attention after being in a bloody state!
RIP halogens tho ;-;

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Agreed, much required albeit a shame to see the end so abruptly.

[@freebrickproductions]

Great video! Shame the classic halogen wigwags are gone now, surprised it took them so long to be upgraded though. Looks like at least most of the masts are still original as well?

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Thank you! The pole on the left in closure 2 is original however the rest have all been changed relatively recently...

[@freebrickproductions]

@ElectraLevelCrossings Oh wow!

[@NWLevelCrossings]

Awesome Videos! That’s such a shame for them Halogens to go.

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Thank you! Tragic but incredibly required.

[@Alfieslevelcrossings]

One of the biggest losses already. Nice one eitherway

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Cheers! Norfolk is now fully LED on the mainline. Duxford and Sherburn will be the biggest losses by far.

[@TheosTrainsWalesOfficial]

About bloody time, too! This crossing needed this upgrade, as the old equipment was falling to bits.

[@ElectraLevelCrossings]

Was highly required, we can all admit...

[@BRLCATUK]

NOOOO
