Date filmed: 13/08/2023 • Videos filmed at: 11:40 | 11:49 • Route: The Breckland Line (Ely to Norwich) • Attleborough Station • Crossing type: Manually Controlled Barriers crossing with Obstacle Detection (MCB-OD) • Location: B1077 Station Road, Attleborough • Trains featured: • Lowering 1 (0:00): • 158 862 (East Midlands Railway - Regional) - 1:28 • 1L06 Nottingham ➡ Norwich | 8 minutes late • - • Lowering 2 (2:04): • 755 417 (Greater Anglia) - 2:53 • 2K68 Stanstead Airport ➡ Norwich | 3 minutes late • A level crossing on a moderately-busy road with fairly loud alarms found in between the platforms of Attleborough Station on the line between Ely and Norwich known as The Breckland Line . The former signal box, which would've previously housed a signaller to operate the manual gates and signalling here, is now disused but still standing as it has been since this level crossing was fully-renewed during re-signalling in December 2012. It now has an obstacle detection system consisting of RADAR to scan for larger objects that could pose a risk to trains, LIDAR's to scan for pedestrians and cyclists, and both of these perform scans of the level crossing as it lowers, a largely-automatic procedure set in motion by an approaching train 'striking in'. Once the system proves the crossing is clear, the signals over it can be cleared and the trains allowed past. • A pair of Norwich-bound stopping services are seen in this video, both running late. • 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!
