The Class 442s have now been permanently withdrawn by South Western Railway and will be replaced by refurbished Class 458s which will be transferred from the Reading line and reforming them from 5 to 4 coaches and re-rated to meet the need for 100mph operations and other modifications to associate them for Mainline services to the South Coast
Yeah I heard about the 442s being scrapped now. Glad I filmed these running when I did, but shame they won't be needed anymore. So does this mean 458s will be running the lengths of the South Western Mainline now?
This happens everytime the crossing activates during the times most shops are open and the high street is busy. It's even worse on a sunny day when it's really busy here.
A very nice video of what is certainly a favourite level crossing of mine (even though it is misuse central)! I'm still yet to see one of these 442s for myself when going out filming, but to see one in a video of the great Poole level crossing's a real treat! Fabulous! 👍👍😁
Thanks 😊 The third rail bar is usually separated by anti-trespass guides or spikes. Wooden guides can be seen at this crossing. It attempts to stop people from walking onto the railway tracks from the crossing.
Thanks! 😎 I wasn't too sure to be honest. It looks like 444s have been running on this line throughout the lockdown and post-lockdown. However, on the date I was here there were 442s running between Bournemouth and Poole.
*interesting crossing* to get the barriers open not in an emergency, do you ring the emergency phone or ring the control room number on the signs as the other day the barriers got stuck down for ten minutes so a cyclist called the emergency phone but didn't speak to anyone, it just automatically opened the barriers later a train came along stopped at the signal then the crossing went then proceeded later the barriers got stuck down again so I phoned the control room Thank you
It is interesting and also quite unique being on a pedestrian high street. I believe the phone number on the crossing information signs should've been used. I assume the phone you were referring to was the one Infront of the green building, which is not meant to be used by members of the public. This crossing is CCTV monitored, so a signaller is able to see the crossing as it is being lowered. The train will not be allowed to proceed unless the crossing is clear. Any incident where a person is trapped on a full barrier crossing, the signaller will raise the barriers which would stop the train from passing.
LEDs seem to be more suited to the more urban level crossings (like this one) in my eyes, whilst halogens look better in the more rural environments, though I generally prefer halogens overall. That's just my view though 👍
My local! Awesome video! 😄 I really like this crossing! 🚦
Thank you! 😁 It's a great crossing. I've filmed so many videos now on three separate trips.

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel These will run on the London to Portsmouth via Guildford line.
Nice to see those pedestrians in the crossing get a wiggle on and hurry to the other side as soon as the crossing alerts went off!

Aren't you ganna pin your comment so everyone can see it
I can't pin my own comment because this is not my channel!
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings oh then who's is it???
Mine 😁
It belongs to another railway / transport enthusiast who's been uploading for quite a few years longer than I have. (👆)
Three and a half minutes from gates going down to train passing! On the continent, you get 20 to 30 seconds. No wonder people jump the lights!
Cool spot, I am yet to see a 442👍.
I think this is the second or third time I've filmed one 👍
Great one like usual
Thank you 😎
So scary to see third rails so accessible to the public. But an interesting video for sure!

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel I'm guessing the gap between the two 'halves' of third is long enough that the train never really loses power too!
Yeah, the train is by far long enough
Amazing video I have heard somewhere they were thinking of replacing desiros on this line with 442 as more efficent
Thanks! 😎 I wasn't too sure to be honest. It looks like 444s have been running on this line throughout the lockdown and post-lockdown. However, on the date I was here there were 442s running between Bournemouth and Poole.
The 458s are the 422s are being sent to scrap
@@millercool21 thank you do you know what's replacing them
The 458s they being 4 coaches and upgraded to 100mph
Very good pasty shop right next to where he is standing just watch out for those pesky seagulls!
Yeah, there was certainly lots around

Great video!
Thanks! 😊
Great video
Thanks! 😉
Nice, although you could have cut the first 3 minutes out lol
Thanks 😊 I don't usually cut the wait times in my videos as I like to film the entire crossing sequences from start to finish
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Ah fair enough
Did you upload this video again?
No this is a newer video of the crossing
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel ummmmmmm
I wanna put this level crossing on my channel
It's a great crossing to film 👍
Good catch
Thank you! 😎👍
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Np😎😎
Love LEDs
They look quite nice on some crossings

Understandable. You hardly see any halogen lights used at very urban crossings now anyway. Either suburban or rural crossings.
Yo Barrier Dude! :-)
Yeah haha
Oh wow this is awesome 😍
😁👍
