Halogen lights at Milton Fen Level Crossing, Cambridgeshire

Date filmed: Saturday the 25th of May 2024 Videos filmed at: 10:25 | 10:29 | 10:40 Route: The Fen Line Cambridge North (CMB) is the closest station Crossing type: Automatic Half Barrier Crossing (AHBC) Filming location: Fen Road, Milton (CB24 6AF) Featuring: ‪@ElectraLevelCrossings‬ A quiet half barrier crossing located near a country park and the River Cam at the edge of the village of Milton just north of Cambridge. This rare crossing is seen activating three times for three trains in this video which features exclusively tripod-aided shots. The crossing is rare because it is one of a very isolated few anywhere in the country which still have the halogen bulb-type road traffic lights / wigwags, one of which may be the only remaining Unipart Rail variant anywhere. The red lights here go straight into sequence rather than flashing together after the amber lights, and there is a rather unusual combination with two Appello alarms much contrasting their age.
