Rare, Silent Crossing with No Barriers: Umberleigh Level Crossing, Devon

Date filmed: Monday the 23rd of June 2025 Video filmed at 12:16 Route: Exeter to Barnstaple "Tarka" Line Between Portsmouth Arms (PMA) and Umberleigh (UMB) Stations Crossing type: Automatic Open Crossing Locally-monitored (AOCL) Filming location: Umberleigh (EX37 9DA) A rare open, 'un-gated' level crossing located just outside of the village of Umberleigh a few miles south of Barnstaple in North Devon. This level crossing is in a scenic area reminiscent of some in Scotland, an area which is very quiet and peaceful with the crossing not adding a great deal of sound or volume to it. It's one of a handful of '1970's or before' level crossings which were not fitted with bells, and no change to the logic to include any alarm has been made since commissioning, leaving this crossing STILL silent. The only warnings here are the LED wigwags and crossbucks with back-boards, though this isn't too much of a risk as it's on a very quiet 30mph road with only an hourly service using it. The few users of this road probably don't see a train all too often, so it has been left even following a fairly recent mast renewal.
