This was previously a full road crossing, with four longer barriers and without the metal gates blocking three quarters of the road. The original crossing was installed somepoint in the 1970s / 1980s to replace manual gates, and remained a road crossing up until the 1990s. With the construction of a bypass bridge over the railway less than 100 metres away, the crossing became pedestrianised and was then no longer used by road traffic. The original crossing lights, barriers and alarms remained in situ for a further approximately 15 years or so, before two of the barriers being removed entirely and the other two barriers shortened to match the width of the path over the tracks. The original four white-border warning lights and two alarms were not touched and remarkably remained standing on my visit in September 2022, and at least 36 years old on the date of filming. It is believed these are the last original white-border warning lights to exist on a main line railway level crossing, making this particular crossing one of the most unique in the whole of the country (in my opinion).
Thanks For Watching!
Excellent video! When I was in North Yorkshire, I saw this crossing. I find this one fascinating
Excellent video of a very unique Crossing 😁👍
Awesome video! 😁
This crossing is one of my favourites; it's just so unique! Remarkable how long these white-bordered lights have remained.
Extra convenience😊
Agree, it's definitely a unique crossing and fabulous filming of it too!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
As a daily user of that station, I can tell you of the frustration that the southbound travellers (i.e. coming from York) experience as we wait to cross each evening!.
The former NER footbridge at Garforth would have worked nicely here (a former NER station).
I shouldn't complain; it's great living in a village with two railway stations - the other being South Milford, but technically in Sherburn.
Great video , I’m lucky to live quite close to that crossing so I will visit it soon hopefully
A great Video and Crossing!!👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing Video Mate 👍
Always been one of them unique crossings of the UK.
Nice alarms! They sound exactly like sutton and baldoyle road level crossings in dublin!
Super video. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚂🚂
That was good and thanks for sharing on sherburn in elemt and great unique recording on it won't it! 100% 😎✅👍🏻
My fav!
Interesting how the were down for so long! Lovely little crossing nonetheless!
This is defiantly a unique one! I’ve filmed some unique American railroad/level crossings myself. Some similar to this one
So true
Great video! I honestly always love this one. Would love to visit it if I ever get over to the UK, especially if it's still unchanged at that point.
I also love how the old road striping is still present too.
Yeah, it’s one pretty unique crossing. As original as you can get as far as the warning lights and alarms are concerned.
You want to see the state of the one on the approach to Heysham Power Station.
Looks like you made it here too! I filmed here too over a year ago! 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁 It's an epic crossing aha! 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁 Nice video Jamie! 👍🏻😁

Yeah it’s very unique, glad to have filmed this
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Yeah same here, I filmed this too but my editing wasn't the best when I edited it over a year ago now. Oh well! It is unique and I hope it stays for as long as it can.
Nice!
Which way on the line is it coming from and to?
Numbers other part of the class 155 train: 347 ( looks like based on the side numbers)
Same on the back of the train (I guess) 7:40
Interesting that it seems to be considered a full barrier CCTV crossing rather than being converted to automatic operation (as it is "only" a pedestrian crossing now)
Why did the road get abandoned but kept it open to pedestrians
A bypass bridge was built next to the station so the road crossing was reduced to pedestrian access only.
Great "converted" crossing with all original infrastructure. Just a shame they didn't relocate the barrier lights from the tip and half way across to the "new" tip and halfway across when they cut the barrier down from full length to pavement length
It seems odd seeing the barriers cut in half like that. I agree, one set of original barriers could've been kept to make the crossing a bit wider
Looks like the road was shut and they couldn't change the type of crossing.
The crossing was downgraded to just a footpath years ago but the lights and barriers have been kept how they are and not changed.
80s style!
Yeah, 80s style indeed.
There are more of the white barrier wig wags in Ireland. But you won’t find them specifically Dublin (you will if your lucky.), it’s more common on other parts of the country. And I can see that you found one in one of your videos.
Veľmi pekne 👍😁😎 ale tí ľudia čo fajčili 🚬
