Mother of straight-A student hit and killed by silent train sues Network Rail for £22,000
Daily MailA mother whose straight-A student daughter was killed at a level crossing after being hit by a 'silent' midnight train is now suing Network Rail over her child's tragic death. Her mother, Leanne Gagic, is now suing Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd for £22,124 for breaching its duty of care- although her barrister explained that her case is 'not about money'. Her mother is now suing Network Rail over her daughter's death Mrs Gagic says that Network Rail breached its duty of care in failing to properly warn people that night trains no longer sounded their horns at Hipperholme, where villagers hear the sounds of train whistles over 100 times a day. He said Network Rail had long accepted there was a risk at the crossing because 'whistle boards', which instruct drivers to sound their horn, were previously in place.
