Britain's level crossings, reviewed and scored by an 8-year-old inspector. A searchable directory of every crossing in the UK, combined with video reviews and a 35-point scoring system.
Oliver scores each crossing out of 35 points across three categories, with bonus points for something genuinely special.
How good are the warning sounds? Loud, clear, interesting? Different alarm types get bonus respect.
How dramatic is the barrier movement? Full barriers vs half barriers. Speed of closure. Lights and signals.
Quality of trains passing through. Express trains score higher. Multiple trains during a visit? Even better.
Unusual types, historic significance, scenic locations, rare barrier mechanisms
Armed with his clipboard and camera, the Inspector arrives on-site for a thorough assessment of the crossing.
Every visit becomes a YouTube video. Watch the barriers, hear the alarms, see the trains, and hear Oliver's verdict.
Each crossing gets its own page on the site with Oliver's scorecard, video embed, and technical data from Network Rail.
