I AM writing to thank the public and local businesses in Poole for their patience during Network Rail’s recent work on the High Street level crossing. The essential work has improved the reliability and safety of the crossing and it reopened to the public on time earlier this week.

The Poole to Wool resignalling project will continue throughout this year and Network Rail will return to carry out further work at Poole High Street level crossing later this year to complete the upgrade.

We will notify the local community as soon as we are able to so we can minimise any disruption as much as possible. Anyone with any questions about the work or the level crossing can contact Network Rail on 08457 114141.

ROD MOORCROFT, Programme Manager, Network Rail
