Network Rail Crossings

Commons transport committee is urging ministers to considering imposing a statuary duty of  transparency this has come about due to the nine deaths at level crossings. What these people seem to misunderstand is that many of these deaths although tragic were the result were in most cases not of the crossings design but because of the people killed. The Elsenham accident in which two young teenagers aged 13 and 14 died as the were hit by a train. These girls had used the crossing on numerous occasions. On the day in question they opened a gate as the warning lights were flashing and an audible warning was sounding. To their left was a road where the barriers were closed to traffic as a train was due. There are calls to have such gates locking automatically as a train approaches, but this does not stop idiots who might decide to climb over a locked gate.Tragic as it was they were 99% responsible for their deaths. They were not babies. In many other incidents people have attempted to cross when ample warnings is being given. We have many videos of people crossing railway lines as barriers are coming down. Drivers in cars who drive round split barriers  in many examples the train missing them literally in seconds. No matter how many crossings Network Rail try and improve on safety they can never legislate against gross stupidity in many cases by adults. To improve on crossings by erecting foot bridges, but what do they do at barriers that involved a road crossing rail lines? Safety is every bodies buisness, but common sense has also to be major priority. But how do you legislate against  gross stupidity?  Again tragic as these incidents have been relatives can't keep blaming Network Rail for their relatives who died they are to blame for their own deaths.
