Gillingham Level Crossing, Gillingham, Kent on the Chatham Main Line.
Location: Ingram Road, Gillingham
Date Filmed: 23-07-2020

Nearest Station: Gillingham

Trains:
Class 395 (Southeastern)
Class 375 (Southeastern)
The busiest level crossing in Kent, located in Gillingham. The signal box is no longer in use and has been preserved and the crossing is now monitored via CCTV. The crossing sees more than 10 trains per hour, with even more during peak times. It spends more time lowered than raised. There are four pedestrian lights which do not flash in synchronization with the road warning lights.
This video was filmed with the Ultra-Wide lens on my camera.
Thanks For Watching!

    One of my favourite crossings. Looks like the bent wigwag was replaced. 😎

    Yes it was at somepoint. I wouldn't say this is one of my favourites but it's a good place to film plenty of trains 👍

    Very good video, and some lovely fresh content! The ultra-wide lens really seems to come in handy when vegetation blocks your view! Great timing to catch the two trains crossing together, and interesting how they seem to have repaired the hit wigwag on the right! 👍😁

    Thanks! 😁 Indeed, very fresh off the uploads schedule. There was a lot of trains running, especially during the peak times. Certainly quite different to most of the other railway lines at the moment.

    Thank you ☺️ The last time something changed at this crossing was probably in 2018 when new LED lights were installed.

    Ha, I live in Gillingham and I had to go and look up the road on Google Maps because I have never noticed this level crossing. Its surprisingly close to the station. I don't really live that side of town. It makes me laugh that Gillingham is on this "High Speed" route yet actually it isn't particularly fast. No faster than it ever was until you get up to Ebbsfleet etc.

    The busiest line in Kent, with sometimes some Thameslink services to Rainham (Kent), as well as a lot of Southeastern services from London to Faversham, Margate, Ramsgate via Westgate-on-Sea/Birchington-on-Sea. Nothing to say about this level crossing, except the pedestrian light :) Good video and good trains.

    Yes, you're very correct. The busiest line and busiest crossing in Kent. The pedestrian lights were added back in 2016 so they're about 4 years old. Thanks! 😎

    This is the crossing that got me obsessed with level crossings lol 😂. Is there high amount of misuse here? If so I'm sure this crossing is at high risk if removal

    I’ve seen more misuse here than at other crossings, mainly because the line is busy so trains are frequent

    Why did the front left barrier have a raise delay? Maybe a malfunction,or just simply the way it is programmed? Thank you for replying comments. 2:57

    It didn't really have a raise delay, the motor is just not providing as much power and lifting the barrier up as quick as the others
