The Mid-Norfolk Railway has a large number of level crossings along the line. They are there to protect road and pedestrian users from oncoming trains. There are different types of crossings on our railway, please familiarise yourself with them.
 

​

Gated Level Crossings

We have a number of Gated level crossings along the railway line. These are operated by a member of volunteer staff when a train approaches.

 

Please drive carefully as you approach these crossings, being prepared to stop. We will re-open the crossing gates once the train has passed.

 

Pedestrians should wait in a safe place while the gates are closed until they are fully opened on both sides of the crossing.
 

​

Open Crossing with warning lights

We have two open level crossings in Dereham on Yaxham Road, and Greens Road, which are automatically activated by the trains.

 

When driving over these crossings, drive carefully up to the crossing and be ready to stop behind the white line, before entering the crossing ensure your exit is clear and no lights are shown, If the amber light is on or the red lights are flashing you must stop behind the white line, If you have already crossed the white line when the amber light comes on, keep going and do not stop. Finally only cross when the lights go off. Remember – DO NOT STOP ON THE CROSSING, KEEP THE CROSSING CLEAR AT ALL TIMES.

​

Pedestrians when the alarm sounds. If you are already on the crossing, please ensure that you keep going across and not stopping. If you are approaching cross, do not cross beyond the lights until the alarms have stopped and the train passed.

​

Footpath Crossings

We have a number of footpath crossings along our line. When you approach these crossings, STOP. Look both ways and Listen for approaching trains. If you see or hear a train, do not cross.

If no train is coming, cross quickly, but remain alert. Look both ways and listen for approaching trains and do not stop on the crossing.

User Worked Crossings

We have a small number of user worked crossings on our line. These crossings should only be used by those authorised to do so. When approaching the crossing, STOP.

Open the gates at both sides of the crossing. Look and Listen for approaching trains, only cross if you are sure it is safe to do so.

When crossing, remain alert and cross quickly.
DO NOT STOP ON THE CROSSING.

Once crossed, close both gates. Pedestrians should Stop, look and listen both ways before crossing.
