A couple of trains passing this level crossing with an obstacle detection system located down a quiet single-track road at the very edge of the settlement of Trimley St. Martin on the outskirts of Felixstowe near Ipswich, Suffolk. This level crossing has two full-length barriers which cover the entire width of road on each side and look very large for such a small road. There is also a total of four alarms here, one for each corner, and curiously these have been taken from previous installs in the area and re-used here as they all still worked perfectly well when the current guise of this level crossing was installed during re-signalling on the line in 2019. Before that, there was an automatic level crossing with just two half barriers here.

Four trains are seen passing in this video, two passenger trains and two freight trains. The last video of four features a zoomed in shot showing the very long Intermodal container freight train rounding a swooping bend between this level crossing and the Felixstowe Area. All four alarms are also heard individually in this video.

Thanks for watching!
