We might find ourselves dealing with level crossings in a different section of the Bill — possibly section 128. If a car, lorry or tractor broke down on a level crossing and an accident occurred, would the railway safety commission have the power to decide which party was responsible for it? It could be a case of a barrier or a signal not working or a gate being improperly opened or closed. Will there be an investigation into who was responsible?
