10 years since Upton Nervet

[Trainfan344]

Today is the 10th anniversary of Upton Nervet, 10 years and the level crossing remains open, what do the members on here think, should the crossing close?

Ten years ago seven people were killed when a train collided with a car parked on a Berkshire level crossing. Now survivors of the disaster are asking why, despite another death there last month, the crossing has still not been closed.

It was one of the UK's worst railway crashes of the past 25 years and the last time more than one passenger died in a single rail incident.

On 6 November 2004 a busy train struck a car parked by a suicidal man on the Ufton Nervet level crossing, killing seven and injuring more than 100 people.
