Saturday June 29 2024 at 5.48. The 5.11 Clapham Junction to Ascot (6.05) train. Came here in 2011: • Pooley Green Level Cro... and in 2017: • Pooley Green Level Cro... A couple of level crossing filmers have got confused and said that this crossing was upgraded last year but of course it wasn't. Parts of it were renewed but there probably hasn't been an upgrade here for 20 years. For the first time in its 168 year life 'Keep Crossing Clear' signs were fitted though. These do seem to be pointless although a bus got stuck on the crossing in 2000 when it had half barriers. Everyone got off, the barriers came down and an empty train wrecked the bus. There was enough time to get all the passengers off safely and use the emergency phone but not enough for danger signals to stop the train apparently. Very sadly, in 2023 a motor cyclist was killed here. Originally there were 12 level crossings east of Egham where there are now 3.
