A very rare footpath crossing located near the centre of Wareham. The MWLs still remain the same apart from the actual lights inside have been replaced with LEDs. Additionally, more black fencing has been installed more around the crossing. A new alarm was installed here, replacing the other one (The Alarm closest to the roundabout on Bere Road).

In the video, after the first train passed the lights changed back to green but the gates didn’t open because the other train was 3 mins before departing to pass through here. The gates did open after the second train passed because next train(s) wasn’t for next 20 mins.

Thanks for Watching!
