The news of a cyclist being struck by a train at a level crossing in Runcorn has deeply saddened us all.
It’s a tragic reminder of the risks present at road-rail intersections and points to a broader issue facing our rapidly growing South East Queensland.

“Queensland’s 10-year strategy to address level-crossings looks pretty pitiful compared to the effort Victoria has achieved” Addison continued.
