More details emerge over level crossing death
A car driver has been killed in Norfolk in a level crossing accident involving a passenger train.
The driver's vehicle was hit by a London-bound First Capital Connect (FCC) train at the Pleasants level crossing, near Downham Market, in west Norfolk.
None of the estimated 60 passengers on the train, which had left King's Lynn, was hurt and the train was not derailed.
Network Rail (NR) said the crossing between Downham Market and Littleport, was a "user-worked" type, with the user being responsible for opening and closing the gate.
– National Rail spokesman"Those using the crossing get red and green signals to guide them. The crossing goes across a private road in farmland and serves a few houses.
"It has a number or registered users and other members of the public are not allowed to use it."
The train was slightly damaged in the incident, coming to a halt just down the track. Arrangements were being made to take passengers on to their destinations by bus.
The A10 was closed both ways following the accident, with FCC train services between King's Lynn and Ely severely affected.
