The gates are under manual control. That early opening is finger trouble by the operator. If you look at 4:50 you can see the guy on the platform operating them from the control panel.

[@JPLCUK]

Yes, this crossing is a TMOB, and the train crew operates it . Since there's no local control, they have to use the driver pedestals

[@-vl6tw]

​@JPLCUK you are best ❤

[@SouthWestCrossingsUK]

Great video!

[@-vf4hq]

God it seems like there getting the big bits off now since there are a lot of RRV’s and big pieces for them this is truly amazing to watch nice!👍🏻

[@JPLCUK]

Thanks

[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Great video 👍

[@levelcrossingtraveller]

Wow 😮

[@Ravenslofty]

as somebody not familiar with the ins-and-outs of railway crossings, what differentiates a standard closure from an emergency sequence? is it just the timespan before closing?

[@TotherKoala]

Also the yellow light is skipped so it goes
Activate -> red lights and close
Instead of
Activate -> warning light -> red light and close

[@rainsterfan]

Ah, Barmouth LC at its finest!

[@mjt8199]

Doesn't this crossing have a local control panel? I'd have thought it would be manually controlled when within a possession.

[@taylord9587]

it is manually controlled but I’m assuming the track circuit is the thing that reopens the crossing after the train passes through the crossing

[@BRLevelCrossingsAndMoreUK]

@@taylord9587it hasn’t got a local control panel so they have to use the driver pedestals and the crossing thinks that the trains passed

[@lincolnarmasols283]

It wasn't a track circuit malfunction it was the EO on the platform who was at fault,there operating on local control for the work.

[@JPLCUK]

This crossing doesn't have local control

[@JSlevelcrossingandtrains]

Geez the crossing is out of control again

[@JPLCUK]

Very

[@sebasreyesviajaenmioOFFICIAL]

Geez what is happening? to the crossing?

[@JPLCUK]

It's confused

[@vastjonea]

Nice one. Fucking hell that was dangerous. This is the worst TMOB in reliability I’ve ever seen

[@JPLCUK]

Thanks, its confused because there's RRVs everywhere

[@vastjonea]

@@JPLCUK yh

[@kevfrombutterley]

Some of those early opens were ridiculous. The guys didn't seem massively impressed.

[@JPLCUK]

Yeah, I think the barriers are confused since there's RRVs everywhere

[@christophercharles3467]

JP Oh dear on film think of the paperwork.

[@JPLCUK]

If we switched to treadles, it won't be an issue

[@kellyedwards8074]

Barmouth at its best lol

[@laurenceskinnerton73]

Not good.

[@alexzann111]

you have no hobbies, haven't you?

[@JPLCUK]

You do sound a bit stupid commenting that on this video

[@BRLevelCrossingsAndMoreUK]

Ah yes
