Default Level Crossings on busy lines

In article , Q

The Park La. crossing is a different matter - Anyone who is local to the
Enfield area or get the local rag from round there will know about a spate
of near misses, and idiotic motorists who insist in trying to jump the
barriers and cross when trains approaching.


Is this an AHB or a controlled crossing (do the barriers block the road
completely, or only half of it)? If controlled, then there won't be
"near misses", just delays while idiots have the barriers bounced off
their car roofs (I've seen it done).

WAGN or rather 'one' took the
decision to close the crossing off.


More likely Railtrack / Network Rail.
