Girl's death prompts safety plea (BBC News)
 

There are calls for better safety measures at a crossing near Morley train station after a 16-year-old girl dies after being hit by a train.

More from BBC News...

So its a death trap because somebody was trying to rescue a pet and was not paying any attention to the possibility of a train coming? I am sure the dog would have got out the way in time, and if it didnt then suerly the death of a loved pet would be a softer blow than the death of a child?

Aplogies for sounding insenstitive, but as a Railwayman the subject of crossing safety and crossing miss-use touches a nerve. Its a sad loss for the girls family but demonstrates what happens when crossings are not use propley and people tresspass. Our thoughts should also go with the driver and guard.

My thoughts precisley,

It's always someone else's fault

Yep.
