Would it not be significantly easier to install full barriers? Just a thought.

I hope I'm never in a position to see something like that.

manned level crossing

[QUOTE=48111.I have always been in favour of manned level crossings, I know even they can have problems, but at least it would cut the chances of anything nasty happening by at least 90%. 48111[/QUOTE]

A manned level crossing like this one near where I live. Note crossing keepers hut, not many of this type of crossing left now.

When I stopped for a while at the "Joan croft road" crossing near Doncaster (on the ECML) the crossing keeper told me there had never (to his knowledge) been an accident at that location, although it is hardly a very busy road.

Terrifying stuff. There should certainly be full barriers at level crossings.

Here's a couple of photos of Elsenham station and level crossing. I don't know if the level crossing is manned with crossing keeper and hut.
