There was a story on Huffington post the other day about a couple having sex on a railway line (takes allsorts I suppose).
They got so carried away they didn't notice a train coming. She was killed and he lost both legs.

That happened in the Ukraine and they weren't a young couple either, but they had been on the vodka.

She was so close there were two sets of DNA on her soiled clothing, and one was the train drivers!!
The silly bugger will never be so lucky again, but then again the driver will never be the same again!

and nobody seems to think about them

Nobody feels the barrier is inadequate?

Pets, children, dogs walking their owners, loose live stock, drunk people.... Women.

And I dare say men. All have a habit of doing daft stuff occasionally.


Plus, given the apparently massively over zealous H+S culture we always moan about, surely the crossing should have four gates, rather than one barrier each side. I'm sure the train driver would prefer 4 gates.

My Father-in-Law had a drunk fall off his bike and got wrapped around his bus wheels. Certainly changed him....but the top wags at the depot made  him get back into a bus cab and made him drive it., which helped.

As effective a remedy as any, but with a caveat...

If you feel you can beat mega tons of train in a head to head ..... then go for it. A single barrier each side should be good enough. Years ago, a local level crossing used to have an uncontrolled pedestrian gate next to the vehicle barrier for pedestrians, it was up to you when or if you crossed the track. I assume it'd been like that for a long time, but only in recent years was the whole lot changed for four automated barriers.

Wonder when the realisation of just how close she was to being splattered kicked in?
She will never in her whole life be as lucky again!

Now, why have you posted that?

[Andy B]

....

I mean ...... do you really need 4 gates to tell you not to try & cross a track when a train is coming. A train will win every time.

Why do you ask?

Because its a bit rude IMO.

I've already explained why situations could occur where 4 gates might be more suitable.

As I'm sure the driver will agree, especially given to footage we're discussing.

Especially when drunk, AndyB.

Not at all, you've not read the post correctly or are being deliberately obtuse, suggesting I'm stupid. As highlighted.
