Also known as Hulberry Level Crossing.
Footpath crossing found on the Darent Valley Line (between Swanley and Otford), which goes onto form the Maidstone Line to Ashford International. The crossing has had Covtec fake train horn warnings installed due to the lack of view of the line from one side of the crossing. It is also oddly found next to a railway viaduct (named Eynsford viaduct) which takes the railway over the valley and the River Darent.
Thanks For Watching!

Great video Jamie!
Very interesting crossing, what with a viaduct, tunnel, deep cutting all within a short distance of each other. 🙂👍

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thanks! Yeah it was a bit weird seeing this crossing right next to a reasonably big viaduct. The line follows the River Darent in a valley so suspect the gradient changes a fair bit.

The fake horn is great! Much better than the normal alarms!

I've never seen these crossings!
Wish I saw one of them with my own eyes

There are thousands of these footpath crossings all over the country. The fake train horn warning units aren't as common though, but can be seen at several crossings in Kent.

Who the fake train horn work?
