A call from the public transport advocacy group “Rail: Back on Track” has asked for level crossing replacements across Queensland’s south-east, after a 70-year old woman died at Wynnum West’s Lindum Station on Tuesday night.
It’s been reported that since 2009, eight people have died at rail level crossings in south-east Queensland, with 248 near-misses last year alone.
Brisbane Mayor Graham Quirk says he will continue to work with Brisbane City Council to study crossing in local government to identify upgrade priorities.
