Level crossing risks at four year high
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

I'm not convinced about the first one. For a start it's in Wales, and for another, the red flashing lights aren't. I reckon they speeded up the film.
Where I used to live, there was a level crossing, but also a footbridge so pedestrians didn't have to wait.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I used to have to cross one of three crossing every day to get to previous ClientCo's office, and typically the gates would close at least 5 minutes before the train arrived. And often they'd stay closed because there was another train 5 mins away.
I think they're making it up.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

1st looks like a fake to me.
The shadows are right, the reflections are right, it all looks right.
The only thing I'd say is that the frame rate seems rather accelerated.
Not a fake IMHO.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
