Formby Railway Station can be seen just up the line from this location, and in the other direction (further away) is Hightown Railway Station. This level crossing's alarms sound quite unique and are louder than you'd expect them to be, and some of the warning lights / wigwags are partially obscured by either fencing or vegetation. A Multi-Purpose-Vehicle can be seen amongst the few retro Class 507s and Class 508 also seen in this video. Thanks for watching!
