A level crossing at both ends

[Harlesden]

I was just thinking that when standing on the platform at Grimsby Town, the Wellowgate level crossing is right there at the Barnetby end with Garden Street level crossing a little further away at the Cleethorpes end.
Now I am wondering how many stations there are with a level crossing clearly visible from the platform in both directions.

Llanelli station is one example I can think of (Greenback will confirm this)

 

[OuterDistant]

Blythe Bridge

 

[edwin_m]

Paignton.

IIRC one of the crossings at Llanelli is closing.

 

[Zoidberg]

Paignton.

IIRC one of the crossings at Llanelli is closing.

... but it'll open once the train has passed, won't it?

Rye has level crossings at both end of the station platforms

 

[Harlesden]

Harwich International is another.

Suppose I was asking for that one really. I believe it is being permanently eliminated. It will be an ex-crossing, shuffled off its mortal barrier, etc etc.

So is the one to the South of Paignton, at least to vehicles, its still used by pedestrians.

Not sure if this one has been mentioned-

Farncombe.

I am aware that it is adjacent to one crossing immediately to the west of the station but is there crossing visible to the east of the station..?

Fishbourne is immediately adjacent to a crossing to the east of the station but unsure if the crossing to the west is visible from the station..?

Beverley definately does, I have a feeling Malton does too.

I can also confirm this. It's brilliant seeing the FGW 125 there because it overlaps both ends of the platform, triggering both level crossings.

I have just checked Llanelli out, and found a train for the "Trains on Street view thread"

Deganwy (between Llandudno and Llandudno Junction) is another one but, due to the fact that the line curves at the up end, you can only see both crossings if you stand at the Llandudno Junction end of the up platform.

Malton only has a level crossing at the east end (Scarborough end).

Lincoln Central has level crossings visible from the station platforms, High Street on the west & Sincill Bank on the east (although this is after Pelham Street Junction, on the Sleaford line).

Driffield.
2 towards Hull and 1 towards Brid

not if there is one coming the other way - I hope

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Motspur Park has one visible at both ends, although the one at the up end is a bit over ¼ mile away from the station.

 

[ushawk]

Shoreham-by-Sea - though the one on the Brighton end is a little bit up the line.

 

[Greenback]

That was the first one that came to my mind!

Paignton.

That's the first I heard of it! Are you perhaps thinking of the signal box being taken out of use rather than the crossing itself? I doubt the residents of the street would be amused, they would have a bit of a detour to get to their homes.

Boston (West Street & Grand Sluice), Rauceby (Willoughby Road & Quarrington)

 

[Mechy]

Lingwood? Both the crossings are manual gates as well!

 

[JohnCarlson]

Just to mention that there is a road under bridge in Sunderland that has a station at both sides. OK one, Monkwearmouth is closed but there is another station Stadium of light just after it.

You can't see the one towards Bridlington from the platform though!
