The coroner's concerns
1. unrestricted platform access to track area
“Access to the [REDACTED] from the platform is not sufficiently barred or impeded to the public. It is clear by means of signage that the public must not go beyond the end of the platform. There are what appear to be some sort of wheeled access stoppers on the platform at and around the fence at its end. But there is nothing to prevent even a moderately mobile person from going around the fence and [REDACTED]. The main resource preventing access is human by means of station staff intervention,”
