The clearest link, quoted from both reports:
Earlier · Elliott Bignall · 23 Mar 2015
“the location of the foot crossing was poorly lit and there was inadequate signage at the site warning pedestrians of the dangers associated with the crossings.”
Later · Andrew Hanahoe · 19 Jun 2018
“Ideally this foot crossing should be closed. It crosses railway line that have trains regularly passing over it at speeds up to 125 mph.”
