The coroner's concerns
1. uncovered railway platform end
“The CCTV installed at the station and which can be monitored by the staff on duty, does not actually cover all the platform areas, and thus the member of staff could not see Mr [name redacted] (who was the only passenger on the station at the time) as he mistakenly wandered on to the tracks”

Stated action
“we forwarded the Regulation 28 Report to them and understand that they were already considering installing platform end fencing at this location, having regard to the circumstances in which Mr [name redacted] gained access to the tracks and walked for approximately % mile before being struck by a train.”
