Oakham Level Crossing effected by flood water flowing through Oakham Station

Today Oakham level crossing broke, staff from Rail Track for
most of the day had to manually operate the barriers.
this meant they were down a lot longer than normal and the
lights remained on red and confused drivers were directed to
cross by rail track.



The problem was caused by flooding as one of Oakham's waterways
decided to change its route and flow through Oakham Station.
This also effected signals so slowing services.

Despite this problem other train were diverted onto the same line
from other lines worse effected.

A steady stream of water flows towards Oakham level crossing.



Water and electric points don't mix that well.

Despite recent prosecutions some drivers are still jumping the crossing lights in Oakham. for some reason you won't see coverage of this in the Rutland Times, but the cases are mentioned in the Melton Times

British Transport Police now have a new high tech van covered in cameras to identified and prosecute them
rather than filming them in HD getting squashed by a train.

Rail crossing 'cheats' targeted: Drivers who ignore red lights at a level crossing in Oakham

Rail crossing 'cheats' targeted: Drivers who ignore red lights at a level crossing in Oakham
In just over a month 25 offences have been recorded by the new enforcement cameras.
Today Network Rail and British Transport Police came to target drivers and pedestrians
and educate them about the dangers. Personally I don't think there is much to learn about
being hit by a high speed train.
