Date filmed: 19/01/2023 • Videos filmed at: 15:18 | 15:23 • Route: Manchester to Southport Line • Between Hoscar and Burscough Bridge Stations • Crossing type: Manually Controlled Barriers Crossing with Obstacle Detection (MCB-OD) • Location: Meadow Lane, Hoscar • Trains featured: • Lowering 1 (0:00): • 769 431 (Northern) - 1:37 • 2O79 Southport ➡ Manchester Oxford Road • - • Lowering 2 (Starts at 2:07): • 150 226 (Northern) - 3:26 • 2W18 Manchester Oxford Road ➡ Southport • A level crossing with full barriers and an obstacle detection system found near Hoscar, just outside of Burscough in Lancashire. The level crossing is at a staggered crossroads where four different country lanes meet, making the name quite accurate. This level crossing has a total of six LED wigwags / road traffic lights, as many as four alarms, and was where one of the first non-prototype level crossing obstacle detection systems in the country was installed in the early 2010s. These are rather clever in that they're lowered normally automatically when a train is detected by track circuits a few signal blocks away, in enough time to keep the train seeing a green aspect where possible, though the supervising signaller does have the facilities to operate it fully manually if needs be. • Train details sourced from: • Real Time Trains: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/sear... • Open Train Times: https://www.opentraintimes.com/maps • Traksy: https://traksy.uk/live • Thanks for watching!
