I agree Mad Carvanner, ....but do you know what? Something inside me says that (for the sake of one man's lowly wage instead of a machine.......at the crossing gates, no-one need have died). We must therefore thank the Lord that no-one on the train also died.
Level crossings were in the beginning..a cheap option for the railway. Cheaper than providing an under or overpass!
Second.....They later removed the crossing attendant and replaced him with an automated machine to make it even cheaper!
Now, they are blaming the public for misusing a flawed system that they have installed to cover their withdrawal of attendant staff at the site in order to maximise profits!
My position is: Let's do it properly shall we? High speed rail and level crossings....Don't Mix!.......
