the train is coming from ipswich and going to lowestoft and is stopping at my local station.
This crossing does not have barriers.

how do you know when theres a train coming before the lights flash and stuff?

@joetorsneyTrains the wind was blowing from the way the train was coming from

why are there no gates, maybe someone that dosent know may just pass the crossing without hearing and seeing the lights and bells?!,,,,

as thire is a waring all the way down to it

The East Suffolk line is great for AOCL and ABCL crossings. I like the way the crossings are protected with trains given a flashing red light if they cannot proceed or a flashing white light if they can proceed, along with the white spotlights facing the crossing.

this is a slow crossing so need to be so quick

@aryowailangitoyo97 There are no gates because it will probably have a limited, low speed service across it (train wise). Also the road won't be the busiest of roads. And it's also cheap. On approach to all level crossings (other than Used Worked ones) there is a warning sign, and its generally expected that motorists are being observant, so shall look out for signs and stop lights. This isn't always the case...plus I know from experience, barriers or gates don't always stop people.

@aryowailangitoyo97 As this is not a very busy road and it has a high pitch alarm. When I bike through the local park I sometimes hear the alarm even though I'm still a few meters away.
