Wareham, level crossing

Controversial crossing for pedestrians next to Wareham Railway Station; Network Rail wants to close it because of dangerous behaviour by pedestrians and cyclists. The crossing is currently staffed and equipped with phone, video camera and bells; it is hard to see what more can be done. The alternative is to use the station footbridge, which would not be accessible for all. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/8304474.stm
