Interlocked gates on UK preserved railways

[railfan99]

Apart from Blue Anchor on the West Somerset Railway whose railcam I was just watching, how many other heritage and tourist railways have interlocked gates (signalman operates with a capstan wheel) and at what station or location?

Not operated with a capstan but user-operated, the Chinnor & Princes Risborough has a wicket gate interlocked at Chinnor. The platform is on the far side of the track to the car park. I'm not 100% sure on the exact nature of how it's locked/operated.

Ramsbottom on the East Lancs Railway.

Tenterden Town and Northiam level crossings are currently interlocked with the signalling on the K&ESR. Wittersham Rd will have flashing white indication some time in the future.

Level crossings at Darley Dale and Churchtown on Peak Rail.

Wansford?

Wansford?

Yes, operated by a capstan style wheel.

Thank you to all: great list. Amazing that short heritage lines such as Peak Rail have two. On a forthcoming trip, I hope to travel Derby-Matlock but won't be there on a weekend, so can't 'do' PR, and on same day am endeavouring to fit in Crich Tramway Museum (which I am told is outstanding) and Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, so about five minutes at the Matlock terminus will be the extent of my stay (sadly).

I excluded Nene Valley Railway from plans as it appears to mostly use foreign locos that are not an authentic representation of how UK railways were 'in the day'.

To see two at Blue Anchor and Ramsbottom as one hopes too is great.

I hope trucks or cars don't smash these gates too often: this was a perennial problem in my state of Victoria, Australia. We had one interlocked set left at the major provincial city of Ballarat (Lydiard St) but a train smashed into them and they were replaced by standard boom barriers, sadly:

Grosmont Crossing and Newbridge, NYMR

NYMR's New Bridge box (north of Pickering station) has a pair of gates operated by a wheel on a long skew crossing over the road to Newton on Rawcliffe.

Nene Valley has 34081 in operation so whilst not an East Coast Pacific I believe it’s the only Southern Pacific in it’s original livery, whilst not my favourite of railways, I’ve had some decent days out there, the Oakham brewery tap on the barge on the river’s well worth a visit whilst your there too.
