    Barriers up and train goes past at Aughton Road Crossing

    By On The Spot News24th March 2016

    According to locals, the barriers were stuck in the “down” position for around two hours today after a train went past when barriers were up, Wednesday 24 March 2016.

    Local businessman, John Ford told OTSNews: “When I was at the front of queue, the barriers were up but the lights flashing…. cars became inpatient and started hooting horns.

    “Luckily I didn’t go through as a train then went past with barriers still up, after this I decided to turn around and the barriers  then went down.

    “This could have ended disastrously, I have reported the incident to Merseyrail”.
