Abandoned Poole Port Level Crossing, Dorset 

Remember sitting at these before getting on a ferry to jersey in 1999, looks even weirder now they're abandoned

I remember this crossing well back in the late 80s and 90s, my grandad used to keep his day boat (that's a small wooden sailing boat) in the harbour and we would tow it over the crossing at the beginning and end of the season. It didn't have light shades on it then either, although I seem to remember it did have the white borders on it which was the standard until the red and white ones came in. Not even sure if it even had a yodalarm or a bell, I think it was pretty old even back then. I always looked to see if would go off whenever I passed but I don't think I ever got to see it operating. Shame to see it's gone.

Great video of a unique crossing in its last days! Looked on Google maps, everything was removed this summer😞🙁

Very interesting - I looked at this quite a few time on Google Maps but I never really saw the full extent of it until watching this video! The lights look kinda weird without any borders or shades! I genuinely thought the barriers were long GWE barriers like the ones at Bedhampton until I read the signs on them and their name in the description, and it kinda looks to me that there are stands at the end of the barriers which would've folded out when they lowered (?) Very old equipment like this does make me quite curious indeed, especially with the layout on the side of the harbour kinda reminding me of the set-up at nearby Wool Level Crossing! Brilliant tour, and I doubt this'll be seeing any closures or trains any time soon! 😂😂😂👍😁

I love the level crossings in Poole, well done, it’s quite strange!

This crossing has now been removed. I wish it still worked! Great vid

Makes me wonder if any other Westinghouse gate mechs were installed in the UK. Great video!

Great video and railroad crossing

Great video !. I wonder if they powered it up, how well would it work ? :)

I went onto google maps, its been abandoned for over 10+ years i think. I seriously wonder what it looked like when it was in use!

Wow! Very old barriers and signals! Shame it's abandoned :(

Nice find with this one! 👍

Now here is a rare find! This crossing should be dismantled and reassembled on a heritage railway

Great video! Interesting how the wigwags have no visors or borders.

1min 55secs is my best bit.

Good video. It looks weird without the borders !

These signals originally had white painted borders, but they faded away entirely over the years. As for the visors, it would appear they were never fitted, which seems unusual. These types of wig wags could normally be seen with two different types of visor. The level crossing is thought to date from the mid-1980s.

Wow!! Doesn't look that bad in terms of the signals

It's really sad to see an abandoned crossing, especially this one and many more. But there are more white outlines (where white and red) flashing lights!?! C'est vraiment triste de voir un passage à niveau abandonné, surtout celui-ci et bien d'autres.😔😭 Mais il y a plus les contours blanc (où blanc et rouge) des feux clignotants !?!

I'm surprised they kept the barrier arms in, you wouldn't want one of them falling on your car!

I am so obsessed with level crossing it's because I live next to a train track and I have got level crossing a few blocks away

This time last year that crossing was in much better condition. It had all its borders on and sun shades in place. That is definitely a human force that has removed all that and the signs have also been taken down and the extra road barriers added.

Wish I knew about this whilst down there.. I believe this crossing isn’t here anymore

what if it still works

are these supposed to be GWE barriers?. and also its a shame to see an old abandoned 1900's level crossing left there :(

have you got any more videos of crossings on this line?

That's actually really interesting. What line was this on?

Note: This wingways now is removed

What an odd crossing the barriers and lights are wierd

I wonder if they still have power or not?

That will be the rarest level crossing in the UK if it was still running

I wonder if jamie would have the skill and patience to restore the barriers and lights.. 😅

They look more cool and KINDA cute 😂🤣😏🙂🙃 Well without the visors and borders... Even know I'm now obsessed in traffic lights and BIG BEN and the rest of the clock tower (I still like level crossings tho)

It looks like orange is activated!

R.I.P Poole Port Level Crossing idk what time it was made - 2019

unique level crossing...👍

They randomly look newish

There's another Level Crossing on that line at Ashmore Avenue

??? Amber light peep?

Westinghouse barriers are from Australia alos they make light and bells in aust

it's a shame it's in this state why was this line closed and when it should be reopened 😠

They don’t have visiors!

Oh my god.

*If only this thing worked*

Shame it's out of action now.
