Eastrington Level Crossing, East Riding of Yorkshire

Date filmed: 20/11/2022 Video filmed at 14:06 Route: The Selby Line Eastrington Station Crossing type: Manually Controlled Barriers crossing with Obstacle Detection (MCB-OD) Location: Station Road, Eastrington Trains featured: 2 Class 185s (Transpennine Express) Leeds ➡ Hull Paragon Interchange A level crossing with an obstacle detection system, which is located next to Eastrington Station on the Selby Line, is seen activating for a pair of Class 185 units working a service towards Hull, and passing the station non-stop. This was quite a short lowering for a full barrier crossing, with there being only two minutes between the amber lights turning on and the barriers raising after the train had passed. As can be seen at this level crossing when it activated on this particular occasion, there was an unusually-long delay between each amber light turning on for this side. This line between Hessle and Howden was vastly re-signalled in the latter half of 2018, and a number of signal boxes closed in favour of a digital system overseen from York being installed to replace traditional Semaphore signalling. At this location, an automatic half barrier (AHB) level crossing was replaced by this obstacle detection set-up. Here, as well as at the other renewed level crossings in the area, an example of Bombardier's 'EBI Gate 2000' system is used, with bespoke manufactured barriers which are designed to break in certain positions in case of a collision, and rather oddly the barrier (boom) lights of which are within the barrier structure itself rather than fitted on top. The alarms are PA systems which play a recording the typical two-tone alarm sound as the barriers lower, and these are located in boxes on the backs of the entry-side wigwags (road traffic lights). This level crossing seems to have the loudest alarm of all of the level crossings in this area with this kind of set-up. Two pedestrian lights have been provided for the side of the road closest to the station. Thanks for watching!
