Bram Degrieck, the mayor of the municipality of La Panne, reacted with great hindsight. “I don’t want to comment on the video. On social networks, there are already enough strong and very hurtful reactions. Maybe the lady was a little confused and needed a hug rather than blame. The investigation will reveal exactly what happened and under what circumstances,” he said.
For his part, Frédéric Petit, from Infrabel, is less tender towards the lady. ” It is not possible. This woman was very lucky that the train moved slowly. If this was not the case, more draft would have been created and the lady could have lost her balance and fallen with all the consequences that implies, ”he commented. “We call once again for respect for the highway code. If the railway line is closed, you must be behind the stop line, in front of the barriers”, he specifies.
