RO-1993-103

On 20 April 1993 as New Zealand Rail Limited's 1655 train from Wellington to Taita was approaching Wingate one of two children cycling on the station platform fell in front of the train and sustained serious injuries. As a result of the investigation recommendations were made to improve the promulgation of safety information to school children and to impede the free access, of cyclists and skaters, down uninterrupted sloping ramps into railway platforms.
