RAILWAY CROSSING: A barrier malfunction left a car stuck in the middle of the railway crossing last Wednesday evening of 7th September at about 7:00pm. The car did eventually move off but the barriers remained in the half open/half closed position with the warning lights still flashing. Traffic, including farm vehicles, were queued along Station road almost to the junction with Town Street. The gates were closed when a train approach but failed to open after its departure. Four trains later the barriers still remain closed, but a Rapid Response unit from Network Rail arrived and advised waiting motorists to turn around and find alternative routes.
The road remained closed for approximately 3 hours whilst the fault was rectified and normal service was resumed.
