A very busy level crossing found within Mortlake near Richmond in the suburbs to the south west of London, also very close to the bank of the River Thames. It is found next to Mortlake Railway station on the busy London Waterloo to Reading Line, and one of the two alarms has an unusually fast tone. Most likely in part due to the Ultra Low Emissions Zone, there was much less road traffic here than I expected there to be on my visit. Most usage came from pedestrians and cyclists, and this is a very busy crossing given its width.
Usually bustling with suburban and commuter services, this line also saw frequent diverted long-distance services to and from the South Coast on the day of filming due to engineering works and a line closure on the main line between Clapham Junction and Weybridge. This line was still very busy given it was a Sunday.
Thanks for watching!
