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).

- I think (Last time I was up that way) the barriers did not block the
entire road, just the on-coming lane in each direction

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

More likely Railtrack / Network Rail.

- Yes your quite right. From what I can re call it is/was closed to
vehicles (By means of building site type temporary fence) but if open for
pedestrians. (Even though quite a number of them don't understand the
flashing lights thing, and just walk across)
