Control of four manually-controlled barrier level crossings will be moved to Basingstoke ASC, along with supervision of existing automatic half-barrier and user-worked level crossings. The ASC will be modified to accommodate a combined signaller-control and indication panel, with provision for a further panel to be installed as part of the Poole - Wool Project.

Commissioning for the £20m project will be undertaken in three stages, with the last scheduled for 2012.
