One accident involving a motor vehicle led to a death and another involving a pedestrian had tragic consequences but the victim did survive. In 2013 the 35-year-old crossing was replaced with double-double barriers. Together with a LIDAR system to ensure trains could not proceed with anything on the crossing, this removed the possibility of previous accidents. While delays to traffic occur, this new system was planned to be substituted for a pedestrian and road-tunnel design which would have cost up to £18 million, critically damaged local farm land and required significant dynamite blasting close to a number of homes along the road to the West of the crossing. As of 2020 there is still a level crossing in place, wit no plans to construct a tunnel.
