I've been working on the south coast for the last few months but this week was my first experience of any LCs on the West Coastway. Apart from the skew of a couple being less than optimal for a bike... One question I had was specifically referring to West Worthing. There's a 4 way road junction which envelops the level crossing. Presumably the level crossing must have some form of interaction with the road signals (which are separate to the level crossing signals) - could someone enlighten me? The barriers went up but the lights didn't change! Log in to reply |

My understanding is that there is some kind of interlocking such that the barriers can't be lowered unless the relevant traffic lights are red. That is, the "barriers down" button is disabled when the road lights are green or amber. I guess there's also a "request the road lights" button on the LC control panel. There is a level crossing at Sleaford beside a road junction. There are the usual flashing red lights, but in addition the traffic lights for routes over the crossing are held red when the crossing is down.

Could this thread be place in the relevant sim? For one that does not live in the Uk, it is rather difficult to establish the LC location. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

Thanks to Clive for the information. Presumably there are some controls to "rush" the traffic? I'd be interested to know how simple it is to integrate the wiring/logic/etc of a railway installation and a road signal one, which I imagine are two entirely separate beasts! Log in to reply |

But we normally use a phase advance button sometimes referred to as a hurry button, this enables us to speed up the traffic light phase so the traffic lights are showing red before we lower the barriers.
