RO-1997-107

On 18 June 1997, at approximately 1150 hours, Silver Fern railcar RM24 running empty to depot on the down main collided with a pedestrian who had just disembarked from an up train and was using a pedestrian level crossing to gain access to Glen Innes shopping centre. The pedestrian was killed by the collision.

Safety issues identified were the rationale for determining the level of protection appropriate to particular pedestrian level crossing situations and the acceptability of subways as the only access to island station platforms.
