Saturday October 8th 2011 at 9.35 am. The 9.10 Brighton to Seaford (9.46) train "Coastway" pulls into Newhaven town station. This is an unusual level crossing with 3 gates, the 3rd being for pedestrians. There are also fixed railings on the pavement so pedestrians are prevented from ducking under the barriers only at the ends. A ferry service runs to France from Newhaven and the millions of troops headed to France in WW1 went through here.

  • Interesting, I'd never seen a full-barrier crossing where only part of the barrier had skirts. Reminds me of the old A6 crossing in Lancaster - it was a one-way, 3-lane road with full barriers one one side only, but truncated barriers and red/green MWLs to protect pedestrians - still the only time I've seen dedicated pedestrian barriers in this country.

  • Gates for pedestrians are becoming more common on level crossings. Australia has an interesting design that originated in Perth. In the USA, gates for pedestrians are mandated in quiet zones where train whistles are forbidden.
