At least 12 people were  killed crossing the railway tracks to get to the beach at a station south of Barcelona.

When will the Catalan and Spanish governments face up to their appalling lack of health and safety! I have seen countless people in Spain crossing tracks in this manner and nothing is ever done about it. In fact in many stations you basically have no choice but to cross the tracks to get to the other side eg. Tortosa!

The authorities just choose to turn a blind eye. It's the same with pedestrian crossings, if you can't get over fast enough you may have had it. I remember seeing an elderly woman who came within an inch of being run over! She was pertty shaken but she just seemed to accept it as the norm.

Come on Spain get your act together! You may have signs to the railway underpass but you need to actually enforce the rules and make sure people stick by them for their own good. This is Europe after all!
