A formerly half-barrier crossing in the village of Sheet, near Petersfield, Hampshire. This level crossing was fully renewed to a full barrier crossing only a few weeks prior to recording, and already appears to be running independently without an attendant. Despite its quiet location, it has four pedestrian signals, and the alarms are again rather oddly only on the exit sides. Since it is now full-barrier, average barrier down times are quite a bit longer than before.
