Investigators found the crossing’s safety systems failed: barriers stayed up and alarms didn’t sound. The train, on a green signal, arrived moments too late. Coombes’s family hailed her as a radiant force of love and kindness. In the wake of the loss, over 900 have signed a petition demanding the crossing be closed, while British Transport Police and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch launch full inquiries into what went wrong.
