Great video! I always find it a bit weird that the alarms on these crossings continue when the gates are down, though I guess it's to distinguish them from the MCB crossings?
Rather appropriate the first automatic full barrier level crossing should be at Dingwall. Full barriers to give you the wall, a pity that the continuing alarm isn't more of a ding.
Glen's Transport I know it's not an MCB I'm just saying these crossings are basically MCBs that act like AHBs but they just have full barriers instead of half which I don't think there's any point in, and do they detect if anything or anyone runs on to the crossing as it is lowering?? Or will it stay down or continue lowering meaning the thing or person will be trapped.
@@UKLCSandT The point in them is that they operate the same as the locally monitored crossings they have replaced, but with the extra barriers to reduce the risk of misuse by pedestrians - and without the additional expense than changing to an MCB would incur.
@@jevthenumaticteamchapman7694 It doesn't have the radar that MCB-OD has, also it isn't interlocked with the signalling, it has the flashing red and white indicator lights which simply indicates whether the crossing has activated. It's a locally monitored crossing.
Steve dd1 has to record Dingwall No1 Level Crossing on Tuesday 12th July 2022

Wait wut!? On my phone, your comment says: level crossing spotter da's mijn intro!
Safety probably
Great video Glen. Nice to see the crossing as an AFBCL. Sorry I thought I had commented already.
What does AFBCL stand for? Sorry I’m new to trains, been into trains for just over a year now lol

Nice crossing, apart from it having four E2S's.
Finally done! Great video 😉
At last Dingwall Level Crossing is now open to the public glen
Wow great upgrade, I wonder why they used a halogen white light??
very good and i think all full barrier level crossings have continuing alarms to make it difference
There are only 3 crossings with continuous alarms and this comment makes no sense, well done 😂😂😂
Rachel Harper so is the person, he stole content from Fabe twice.
@@DPTrains Phil told me about that tonight. Hope she doesn't do it anymore
Great video
Why did they use a halogen white light?
Nice long tone from the 158. I do find it weird how the sirens go on whilst the crossing is closed🤔
The other side is open now
Those alarms are really loud!
how come there are four alarms rather than just two?
@@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannelit’s an AFBCL so it’s a AHB and MCB combined
Well done, shame the street light is blocking the wigwams, but can't be helped.
Nice vid at leats its open do you think dingwall no 2 will get upgraded to a full atomic barrier level crossing
I still don't see the point in these crossings there basically an MCB where the alarms stay on .
It's not an MCB. The point is that it is an automatic locally monitored crossing with full barriers, instead of half barriers.

MCB OD
This is an AFBCL, not an MCB-OD, it works the same as an ABCL, but with the extra barriers.
@@GlensTransport it got lidars
@@GlensTransport afbl but wait a sec it's MCB OD
