I met train commuters outside Thatcham train station at 6am on Thursday morning (13 September), to get signatures for a petition to install a full width barrier and CCTV cameras at Ufton Nervet level crossing.
A full width barrier would stop people going around the barriers and CCTV would be linked to a signal box. The operator can then check whether the crossing is clear before dropping the barriers. Therefore, If there is a problem, they can alert the train driver and take action.
This should help to prevent a further tradgedy like the rail crash at the Ufton Nervet level crossing in 2004 that killed 7 and in May this year when another person died.
