One of two level crossings located opposite each other on Bollo Lane in South Acton, London. This is the busiest of the two level crossings with the barriers being lowered every 10-15 minutes, whilst the other level crossing sees only a handful of trains per day. The alarms here are very quiet, and there are two pedestrian lights for the wider footpath at this level crossing, installed in 2018. Works to clear the lineside of vegetation were on-going at the time of filming, which explains all the noise. There is a disused signal box beside this level crossing also.

At the end of the second video, you can see that the closest barrier raises quite a lot later than the other three, since the other three barriers were nearly fully raised when the closest one started to raise!

Thanks for watching!
