Traffic Nightmare! Poole Lift Bridge, Dorset

[@SouthEastLevelCrossings]

Well done on intervening there. Even though the lights were flashing, it was a very wise move to relay the message to the driver to continue on through the bridge as that's the operator was trying to tell them to do. Still, a bit of forward planning and adherence to the amber lights from them wouldn't've gone amiss! Excellent video of the bridge raising by the way!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you! Not sure how you can miss a blaring alarm and three bridge announcements to move lol.

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

Could've been a disaster! That's more, traffic that what I'd expect. That noise sounds exactly like a fire alarm. Great video and an unexpected voice reveal!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Its frequently quite busy, especially in the warmer months. Thank you and I'm so glad I never spoke or added narration in all the videos I've made lol.

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel guess you broke it. Dw your voice is wayyyy better than mine so I'm really trying not to talk lol

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

@@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK It can't be that bad. I like to think I sound a bit posh with my southern accent haha.

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannelyeah, your voice is pretty fancy. If we met IRL, my voice is way too deep for how I look, trust me

[@EastAngliaLevelCrossingsUK]

​@@UKLevelCrossingsChannelI have an Essex accent. It's rather deep and Essex-y

[@CheemsTheTransportGuy]

I love how this bridge has a 2nd alarm! That was terrifying even though the operator told the car to go on.

[@NWLevelCrossings]

Wow that’s a lot of traffic for a bridge! Excellent Video! 👍🏻

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you!

[@nigelkthomas9501]

There’s always got to be one crackpot!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Yeah, not sure how you couldn't hear three bridge announcements lol - as-well as the rather alerting alarm.

[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Excellent video as always 👍

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you!

[@amandasmith3303]

I wish something would have come over a tannoy on North Bridge,Hull when i was slap bang in the middle and the siren went off.A 'don't worry Amanda,this bridge won't lift until you are well away from it' would have stopped a lot of panicky swearing!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

That would be nice wouldn't it lol.

[@amandasmith3303]

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannelLol

[@SouthWestCrossingsUK]

Great video! Odd how the driver decieded to stop and reverse 🤨 not the smartest of moves but you sorted the situation nicely

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

Thank you. Yeah, would've been far easier and safer to just continue driving forward. They were way past the stop line when they stopped anyway.

[@ChilternRailPhotography]

those feet on the barriers dont even move anymore oh dear

[@yabbaguy]

The pedestrian gate alarm was going off for an eternity. What took that so long - was that obstructed too? I noticed another announcement after the driver got the idea and drove through.

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

The pedestrian gates have quite a long delay to close. The last announcement was the bridge controller saying 'thank you' I believe.

[@SouthCoastTrains]

Love that bridge!

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

I just love Poole as a whole lol.

[@henrybrookman3276]

Pretty loud but new feature bridges 🌁 for boats 🛥️

[@leveltrains1295]

Nice, they should install traffic lights there like early warnings

[@UKLevelCrossingsChannel]

I think the warning lights here are perfectly adequate.

[@leveltrains1295]

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel okay cause on a day like that is pretty dangerous
