Yet another decision from the late 1980s / early 1990s reversed and previous arrangements reinstated

Are they going to upgrade private farm crossings as well, or just the public highway ones. There are quite a few of the former between Ayr and Stranraer. I know they already have user worked gates, but it would be nice to have extra protection.

The AOCL+B designation mentioned in the article suggests that it's not very much different to an ABCL (which is similar in appearance, to road users, to an AHB) - possibly with simplified controls omitting full proving on the barriers or similar? Not sure, but there's obviously something to make it different to an ABCL. |

AFAIK an ABCL is just an AOCL+B, but built as such

Good news but I give it up to a week before the first barrier is ripped off when someone jumps their usual crossing and doesnt expect the barrier to be in their way.
