Why is it when something like this happens its always the fault of the railway.
As the NR spokesman said "if used correctly they are perfectly safe".
You don't walk out onto a road without looking so why walk over a user worked crossing without looking, Trains have white lights on the front and red on the rear so if you look and see white lights coming then clear the track and wait for the train to pass.
Granted I don't know the section of line involved i.e curvature,line speed etc but surely basic self preservation should dictate here.
The railway can not be held responsible for every incident.
My condolences also go to the family.
