It was reported that last night at about 19.40 a car and train collided at Trencreek Level Crossing - this is about a mile out of Newquay where a minor road crosses the line.
The service at the time was being operated by a class 153 unit. The car driver Sarah Frampton of St Newlyn East said she had not seen the warning and was lucky to be live.
N.B. There is a suggestion that on all level crossings the flashing warning lights should be replaced by standard road traffic lights which it is felt road users are more likely to notice and obey. l
