Circumstances of the death
On the 25th September 2011 Lewis Philip Ghessen was chased on to railway tracks at Harrow and Wealdstone Railway Station, where, at a short time after 20.37 he was struck and killed by a fast train that was passing through the section of track where Mr Ghessen was.
Coroner’s concerns
That the RSSB Rule Book allows trains to be stopped only in circumstances where that person may cause damage to a train, but does not allow for trains to be stopped where the person may be in danger form a train.
