Very recently to the time of filming (about one week to be exact), new alarms have been fitted to the crossing and they are considerably louder than the previous ones. Until now, the alarms for this crossing were situated inside the barrier machines and were reasonably quiet in volume. The change to externally positioned alarms, along with their considerable change in volume, has been made due to several misuse incidents here - assuming the alarms cannot be heard easily. The signaller here was very friendly and provided some information on the delayed upgrade to this crossing and closure of the signal box.

Thanks For Watching!
