The barriers raised after Network Rail engineers arrived

Cars were being turned around on the approach just after 7.30pm this evening.

Network Rail engineers were quickly on the scene and had repaired the crossing within half an hour.

On Saturday afternoon, the barrier also got stuck and the road was closed

This isn't the first time the barriers have got stuck. In October last year the barriers remained up and caused traffic chaos. The Gazette also reported in June that rail chiefs employed staff to keep watch of the crossing 24 hours a day due to CCTV cameras not working.
