Near misses on rail crossings - What's your experience?

Reporter Taranaki Daily News

Hi neighbours - There have been seven near misses on rail crossings in Taranaki in the past year.

The locations were at Egmont Street Normanby (twice), Standish Street Inglewood, Manutahi Road Lepperton, Beaconsfield Road Midhurst, Pembroke Road Stratford and High Street Hāwera.

"The close calls took a huge toll on train drivers and those who narrowly miss death," said Kiwi Rail chief executive group Greg Miller.
