Baby Transport – Prams, Strollers and Buggies

Late last Year, a young mother was severely critisized by many thoughtless commenters, when her baby and buggy slipped down a slope of a railway station in Melbourne Australia,directly under the wheels of an oncoming train, the child was not severly injured, no action was taken to reslove the problems of the sloping platform either too date, the severe camber was responsable for the close encounter with death,No one was sacked, no action was taken to resolve the obviously dangerous situation, except putting the onus on the parents to hang on to the baby buggy, today another twin buggy ( a buggy for 2 kids) again slipped completely beneath an incoming train again the lucky occupant of the buggy miraculously survived, now the odds that this run away buggy event will happen again are great,and to get 3 tossed coins to land the same face up for all 3 tosses is unlikely, the odds are shortening!! Before there is a death the people of Melbourne must insist that when a train is coming in,a barrier rises way back fro the platform edge & all passengers and buggies must be behind that none roll barrier,until the train has stopped, or the platforms must be made level, as that is the primary cause of these horrible incidents, or the trains should be fitted with some kind of soft scoop that will capture anything that is on the track, I am no engineer but surely something must to be done,if it’s a question of money!! some pen pusher in transport management will be held responsable for the death of an innocent child, I think it’s a clear case of negligence for the safety of the passengers, the fact that this video is stating the obvious would incriminate any one who is in aposition to alter this situation,I personally would Sue their butts off and claim damages for the shock, and trauma of watching my baby being dragged along beneath a train, well it’s not normal is it? It should not be able to happen,not the once yet alone the twice, and the thrice is just a question of time even I can see that from where I am sitting In Spain, so whats wrong with the minister of transport in Aussie. I wonder if he is either blind, reckless, or ruthless……….or maybe someone is just incompetent, but that will be no defence, neither will be ignorance, as long as this video is testimony of what we have seen here..
