I'm trying to find stations or areas with level crossings so if you could help me with locations of crossings in the greater London area that would be great.
Thanks |

Kinda ironic seeing I was at that station the other day. |

If that's how it was a few years ago then it's particularly nice as it doesn't have the conventional siren but a singly struck bell (ding ding ding not dingalingalingaling) . Mind you, it's probably been modernised now. |

Great link. Lots of useful info, like number of trains per day and risks involved. |

Rainham has been eliminated and been replaced by an underpass.

,
Wasn't North Weald the only 'Public' level crossing when the Epping - Ongar branch was part of the Central Line??

You could have a look at carto-metro. Light Rail crossings are shown in blue, and heavy rail in red. It does seem to be public roads only though, as some of the above mentioned, mainly those on private roads, such as neasden, aren't shown carto.metro.free.fr/cartes/metro-tram-london/ |

The only foot crossing on the Underground is just north of Amersham - which means that although the track is owned and maintained by the Underground, only Chiltern Railways' trains pass over it.
There used to be a lot of level crossings on the LNER out to Epping, but these were closed as part of the conversion works when the Central line took over in the 1940s.

This picture from The Woodford Historical Society shows Snakes Lane, Woodford Station's level crossing. My Dad remembers it well. The crossing was replaced by a pedestrian subway only, leaving the poor old road traffic with no choice other than to use Broadmead Road or go via Roding Valley to get from one side of the road to the other! The buildings on the West side are all still intact although owned by different institutions.  |
