An automatic half barrier level crossing located on a quiet road at the edge of the village of Gomshall in the Surrey Hills, complete with LED wigwags and two Mk.1 twin-arm half barriers to the day of filming. What's also notable is that the alarms still turn off here when the barriers have lowered, something that's being rapidly phased out. A total of three different lowerings for three different trains filmed in the early evening feature in this video. For such a quiet location, both of the alarms here are very loud, and both of these are fairly new since both were installed in late 2020 to replace one flat-tone 'YO5 Yodalarm' and another 'YO3 Yodalarm' which strangely took the place of the working alarm of the former type.
