A woman has been killed at a level crossing I grew up using.

The level crossing is unmanned - just planks of wood across the rails between Staines and Ashford, close to Shortwood Common.

I used to have to cross that section of track to get to hospital appointments, by myself, when I was fifteen or sixteen. There's nothing there. No alarm, no barriers, no phone or way to call for help.

When I was about eight or so, my uncle's friend, Jeremy Green - who used to babysit me when I was a really small child - also died on that section of track. It's part of the reason I live in fear of railway tracks. Trains terrify me.

Fucking hell. I went to school with three Mansell kids. Why has this been allowed to happen again?
