I can't understand this....Re: Network Rail & Level Crossing deaths
Re: Network Rail & Level Crossing deaths
I saw some video footage of this and one man was so close to the train it took part of the sole of his shoe off. Apparently cars and people are constantly taking chances. Not sure how many are killed but what I could see of it it is a wonder it isn't a lot more; mind you I don't know how many are killed each year?Re: Network Rail & Level Crossing deaths
I live just down the line from one of the accidents that was brought into the discussion about the crossing deaths. You have to walk across a railway line and a tram line to get to the other side. A few years ago a Gran and her Grandson aged 7 were killed on the rail track trying to get across. There were no strong lights as it was night time there was a gate you opened to cross. No flashing lights to tell you a train was due. At that point the trains go about 60mph and because you have a road at the other side of all of this you cannot always hear the train coming.
