Woodbridge and Melton has eleven level crossings within about a mile and a half, many of which were ungated with warning lights, and the remaining gated but with no warning lights. Only one of these crossings actual has a road over it, the rest being tracks serving a few businesses and/or homes and the very popular river footpath. Most of the crossings have extensive foot traffic over them with vehicle traffic being quite light on all but the road crossing. There are two footbridges over the railway, both at the stations for rail passengers. It’s a quite branch line with there being at most one train an hour.
In the twenty or so years we’ve lived here I’ve never heard of any incidents on any of the crossings but Network rail have just finished upgrading them all to having self locking gates or barriers. I’m in two minds about this, I mean how difficult is it to get wrong. Trains are both very predictable and rather hard to miss being as they are very large and quite noisy. On the other hand, none of the new barriers or locks have added any inconvenience, but they are ugly.
