The e-petition has been set up to force a parliamentary debate on problems at the busy crossing. Fresh calls have been made for the level crossing to be manned again.

It comes after the latest in a series of incidents, when automated safety barriers failed to close despite lights warning of an approaching train on Sunday night.
