Seems like the accident occured here, although it's also used by emergency vehicles IIRC as there are signs for emergency access.A 21-year-old died after being hit by a train in Hoylake.
Emergency services were called to a level crossing close to Melrose Avenue, on May 2.
Hazardous area response team, advanced paramedic and rapid response vehicles arrived at the scene and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
However today, May 7, British Transport Police confirmed the man, who was 21-years-old, died a short time later in hospital.
A spokesman for BTP told the ECHO : "This incident is not currently being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
Following the incident, which occurred just before 10am, Merseyrail trains were suspended on the Hoylake and West Kirkby line.
