A half barrier level crossing found down a small road off of a busy dual-carriageway just outside of Horsham in West Sussex. The level crossing still retains two short Mk.1 twin-arm half barriers to the day of filming, though the only change here in the last year is the supporting mast and mounting of one of the wigwags / road traffic lights (quite a minor change). In the first video, two trains passed each other at this level crossing, and the alarms can briefly be heard in their sped-up 'Another Train Coming' mode. Instances where two trains cross in the same lowering seem to be relatively quite a commonplace here! The second two videos were filmed about a month and a half later, and were the last videos I filmed in 2022 before the new year, though these won't be the last from this year to be uploaded.

Thanks for watching!
