Amen to that Danno!
We are absolutely fed up and revolted  with cleaning up all the little 
pieces of brain matter,and guts,and searching for missing body parts,over 
an area of 200 to 300 meters.
There is not much worse than trying to put a person on to a stretcher who 
has broken every bone in their body.They are just like a bowl of Jelly.No 
I tell a lie,pulling the limp body of an 8 year old out of the back seat 
is a torture in itself.
What I find really weird is that in this day of OH&S in the 
workplace,such a scenario would not be allowed to persist in a 
factory or office,yet for some twisted argument about lack of funding 
railway crossings are not seemingly considered in the equation.
Why doesn't the train drivers union take on the operators to protect 
their members and their passengers from an inherently dangerous 
situation.
How long will it be before an XPT collides with a fuel tanker and a 6 car 
XPT is incinerated.All for the lack of a couple of boom gates.
