The level crossing over Poole's pedestrianised High Street, seen here with the barriers down well in advance of a train. This picutre was taken at 5:45pm on a saturday evening, during the day it is typically much busier than this!

Just out of view around the corner is Poole station, while in the centre of the picture you can see how the electrified third rails are suspended for the level crossing.

Photographed from the pedestrian footbridge that prevents a train severing all communication between the upper and lower parts of the high street.
