Closest level crossings

[CheapAndNerdy]

To the west of Barnes (BNS) there are two level crossings less than 60m apart on a single stretch of road: http://goo.gl/wUmGo

Is there a closer pair on a public highway? Or anywhere else?

Not sure on the distances by road, but Queen Adelaide Drive in Ely crosses the Norwich, Kings Lynn and March lines in close succession.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Not on the same road but there are two level crossings within metres of each other on the Marlow branch between Bourne End and Marlow.

There are two about 15 yards apart at Helpston, north of Peterborough, where the Leicester line diverges from the ECML, although not sure if it has two separate sets of barriers.

Google Maps says sorry you're not a winner:

Aha, so only one set of gates, but they are two separate lines though so I should get half a point.

Could be a contender for widest crossing though?

 

[Jordy]

I'm sure I've read before that Helpston is indeed the widest crossing in the UK

 

[clagmonster]

Of course, there are the two at Doncaster (Marshgate), over the York and Leeds lines. They can only be a matter of yards apart.

I considered that one too, but I think it's just a little further than Barnes...

Maybe 110 yards?

There are three very close together at Dingwall on the Kyle line.

 

[Wyvern]

I do know of a Y shaped one - would that count?

 

[Ploughman]

Is Walton St in Hull a contender.
As it actually comprises 2 separate crossings side by side on a dual carriageway.
I also was led to understand that it is the biggest Bomac crossing in the UK with over 360 panels.

Nice dangerous crossing there on Walton St, you know how many cyclists moan about that on Look North? (They should dismount like the sign tells them to!)
