The removal of Newhaven level crossing over the weekend prompted me to wonder how many bell level crossings are still operating on the national network and where are they?
Woodsmoor crossing, still has a row of bells on approach to the crossing.
OK...I think the OP is asking which ones use a mechanical bell rather than an electronic sounder as an audible warning.

Oh OK - can't help there then, sorry.This...
Not a klaxon or any other electronic sound
Tutbury Crossing at Tutbury and Hatton station is an early type of crossing that still has bells rather than a klaxon.
Above is a pretty decent video from YouTube demonstrating the operation of said crossing.
That's a continuous ring. What about 'ding ding' bells similar to what the United States has?
The ding-ding (or ding-ding-ding) bells are the ones that I'm familiar with. I'm not sure if I've ever come acoss trembler bells (like the one at Tutbury). Do these pre-date the ding-ding-ding type?
