to add into that the direction teh emu is travelling the signal protecting the crossing is Woodsmoor station being half a mile away from the crossing it protects.
just to clear this up. trains in order EMT 158, Northern 142, Northern 323 emu.
the reason the crossing is down for so long has nothing to do witha touch pad but track circuits and signalling sections. a s acontrolled crossing it has full signal protection. barriers have to be down to clear the signals. the signal sections on that strech of track are very long meaning they will be down well before the train turns up. to give a fast enough path to not have to slow down.
I think the first of the Diesel Multiple Units was a Class 158 and then the second was a Pacer (class 142?). I'm not so sure about the Electric Multiple Unit at the level crossing.
@Isochest No the class 142 was first then the 143 then the 150 then the 158 then the 153..... i think the first emu was the class 455 for third rail but for overhead power i think it was the class 313/317 :) NE317
Hehehe.. Just like Merseyside... You wait an age for a train to arrive, and when it has passed, the barriers raise instantly. Leasowe station on the Wirral has it's barriers set to lower 1 mile from the station - unfortunately, there are 2 stations in the space between activation pad and crossing in both directions!!
There are two stations within a mile of this crossing in the direction the EMU was coming from so perhaps that explains that. A bit of a drag for the locals no doubt...

@Vix180470 It's on a quiet road. In fact it's a one way street across the crossing.

Correct. The EMU is either a Class 323 or a newer Class 333. Looks like a 323 to me.

@Isochest The EMU at the level crossing is a Class 323 in first North western livery.
