A level crossing found next to Ingatestone Station on the Great Eastern Main Line, and controlled from the adjacent Ingatestone Signal Box. There are two full-road-width barriers here, one of which was fairly new at the time of filming, along with LED lights and two incredibly quiet alarms, which are drowned out by the noise of the barriers operating. One of the alarms produced a flat tone when this was filmed, and both barriers strike the floor with the new barrier already having a slanted skirt.
Since this video was filmed, Greater Anglia got rid of their Class 360 'Desiro' trains and a new alarm was fitted on the side over the railway from the signal box.
Thanks for watching!
