Railway fencing should be made in such a way to discourage climbers and with no possibility of public access. This would make it impossible for those members of society who have no consideration of the psychological impact of their selfish action on the driver and clear up staff as well as the economic impact on the country or inconvenience to the public.
Have a thought for the family when using words that will wound further a broken heart
I new the man that has died. Your statement summarises only yourself. The effects of his death are inside of a community and with his family and friends. The driver of a train my thoughts are also with and they will be compensated in the only ways there employer can with time off and finance. A driverless train is coming soon so you can take that concern off your shoulders
