SN4123 : Open level crossing at Bronwydd

taken 7 years ago, near to Bronwydd, Carmarthenshire/Sir Gaerfyrddin, Wales

Open level crossing at Bronwydd
Open level crossing at Bronwydd
The crossing is not protected by gates or barriers. The line is crossed by a minor road from Bronwydd to Peniel. It is on the Gwili Railway's extension to northern Carmarthen which is expected to open in 2017. Level crossings are an acknowledged railway hazard and although I don't know the conditions imposed by the Railway Inspectorate, I suspect that, at a minimum, a flagman will need to control the crossing when the extension is operational.

Afternote: I have been informed by a member of the Gwili Railway that under the terms of its light railway order, a flagman will not be required at the crossing but that trains will need to slow to 5 mph.
