The coroner's concerns
1. lack of updated Samaritan signage
“Samaritan Signage has not been reviewed and updated around the station”
2. inadequate anti-trespass signage
“Anti-trespass Signage has not been replaced at the end of platforms to be more visible”
3. gaps in platform fencing
“There are gaps in the mid-section fencing between platforms 2 and 3”
4. missing access gates
“There are no gates at the access point to platform 2 and 3 at the top of the stairs, to prevent any unauthorised access to platform 2”
5. absence of cross hatching markings
“Cross hatching yellow paint is not present on the fast line platforms 1 and 2. To clearly demark the area”
6. missing anti-trespass measures
“Antl-trespass measures have not been installed at the end of platforms, to prevent ready access from the end of the platform to the rallway lines”
