............ and even rarer in the tunnel sections.
I used to travel to New Milton from Waterloo as part of my commute and after leaving the built up area there is very nearly a level crossing at every station including near me at Brockenhurst and Christchurch.
Christchurch level crossing crosses a very busy, and pedestrian only, high street, I believe.
No trouble with conductor rails; the level crossing usually has a large expanse of cattle grid like woodwork between the edge of the road and the conductor rail.
