Introduction
The photograph on this page of Open level crossing at Bronwydd by John Lucas as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The crossing is not protected by gates or barriers. The line is crossed by a minor road from Bronwydd to Peniel. It is on the Gwili Railway's extension to northern Carmarthen which is expected to open in 2017. Level crossings are an acknowledged railway hazard and although I don't know the conditions imposed by the Railway Inspectorate, I suspect that, at a minimum, a flagman will need to control the crossing when the extension is operational. Afternote: I have been informed by a member of the Gwili Railway that under the terms of its light railway order, a flagman will not be required at the crossing but that trains will need to slow to 5 mph.
