Here is an abandon station platform that I came across on a remote part of the ScotRail Far North Line.

Looks like the crossing was upgraded between 2009 and 2011.

Yea, it appears that it got an LED upgrade between 2009 and 2011. Most of the crossings in the UK are LED now, with halogen ones being very hard to find.

Wait, crossings in the UK used halogen bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs?

From what I understand, yes. The earlier lights might've used incandescent bulbs though.

Well this person is breaking the law by queuing over a crossing.

I've ran across that a time or two... especially on a busier road with a 4 way stop.

Those probably exist for visibility reasons, and maybe because they're accident-prone areas as well.

I've seen that done here in Huntsville (and I think in a few other places here in Alabama) some times. It's usually done for visibility, while saving money on the number of poles needed for the signs. Here's a few examples:

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.7189451 ... authuser=0
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.7225375 ... authuser=0

Of course, the more normal way of providing an extra sign for better visibility would be to do this:
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.6585386 ... authuser=0
https://www.google.com/maps/@34.6580343 ... authuser=0
