In this video, we visit the Mid Norfolk Railway at Yaxham Road and Greens Road crossings in Dereham. On this day the trains where only running from Dereham to Thuxton and not all the way to Wymondham due to bridge damage at one of the stations along the route. Also as you may of already known, the trains weren’t running North of Dereham and I don’t think they have for a while. Some of the track needs repairing on that section of the line.
These crossings have very old WigWags now and are very unique! The borders at Greens Road are actually what appears to be stuck on red and white borders, you can see the previous white borders, where as Yaxham Road has the more traditional screw on borders.

Is it just me, the light at the crossing come on dangerously late about 7 seconds before the train arrives plus no barriers ? 🤔👍🚄
Some Brilliant Shots!👍🏻👍🏻 Nice to still have the Halogens here!
Nice video and amazing to think that these crossings are active as they are currently. The trains get so close to the road before the crossing lights and sirens start going off
Love these two crossings! I miss pacers, Great video!
Nice Cspture/s😊👍🏾
Excellent videos! These are certainly two cool crossings, especially Yaxham Road under that fly-over. Strange how that white light was flashing for the direction against the travel of that Pacer too!

It's supposed to, both ways will flash white.
Excellent Catches 👍
@5:06 The lights stopped before the train had cleared the crossing!

Many crossings are set up, someone even managed to crash their car into the rear of a train at night because the crossing had opened with the rear of said train on the crossing (and without any lights or reflectors visible to the car driver)...
This crossing is dangerous in my opinion because it doesn’t have gates to completely protect the tracks most level crossing in the uk have gates but this crossing doesn’t so it’s a very high risk of collisions with cars and trains

You can have an opinion, but could I ask if the fact that traffic lights and pedestrian crossings also don't have barriers scares you?
One day there is going to be an accident at that level crossing where someone jumps the lights and gets hit by the train, they need to put gates there.

Or, maybe, people need to learn to drive their road vehicles and cope with a level crossing just as they are supposed to cope with traffic lights?

So unsafe without barriers

Nope, quite fine on a low-speed line and road. Just a few miles away the Bure Valley has level crossings with no gates, lights or anything - yet people cope just fine.
