*Idiot and Crossing Fault?* Trains at Southampton Level Crossing 16/12/21

Welcome to the real last final video of 2021.

A cold and cloudy evening at the U.K’s busiest crossing in terms of train movement. Its Southampton Level Crossing, commonly known as Mount Pleasant Road level crossing where we see many services by South Western Railway and just the one service from Great Western Railway. Sadly no Southern, CrossCountry or freight showed up during my stay here.

I was gonna do Basingstoke but frustratingly I couldn’t get on to the platform so I came here instead.

I filmed here back in 2019 when it was nice and sunny. The only minor changes is that one of the bells has died and one of the barriers has lost its stopper.

This crossing still has bells and old GWE barriers which are now probably over 40 years old. These types of barriers are getting rare nowadays because they’ve been replaced by newer equipment. The barriers originally had metal skirts until 2018.

That is it for 2021. Hope you have a safe Christmas and New Year. See you in 2022.
