Yapton Level Crossing

Three single and a pair of Class 377s in Southern livery head in various directions, the first and third to Ford and the second and fourth to Barnham. This is a busy crossing it seems still with battered halogens from a long time ago. The barriers and alarms are quite battered too, one of them even remains after it fell on a car with a caravan some years ago. Bloody OAPs clogging our roads. The lights are faded and in need of dire repair but still are going strong after all this time. This is quite typical of this line: lots of trains; old equipment. I'm not sure why the flood lights are there though, they seem new and are not really what one sees at an AHB crossing. This crossing lies very close to the bottom of the alphabetical list, only beaten by Yarnton, Yaxham and Ynyslas. Mmmm.... alphabets.

Great video! Love the halogens and double-stay! That meet was great as well!

Originally had 4 wooden wheel worked gates, and a signal box next to it.

I've never seen an AHB with barrier skirts! does such example exist?
2:29 nice catch of two trains on the crossing at once!

I thought you'd do these crossings on this line soon. Some still have halogen wigwags. I believe this crossing has tilted/curved light shades on the extra wigwag. It isn't clear in the video. Nice.
