A railway level crossing which was closed after a man died in a crash between a train and a car is open again today.

Repairs to the level crossing by Fishbourne station, near Chichester, were completed at 10am.

Derek Boulter, 69, of Harbour Way, Chidham, died when the 13.25 Portsmouth-Barnham train crushed his green Subaru on January 31.

The 30 passengers on the four-car train were thrown from their seats as the front carriage rode over the car, pushing it along the tracks and crushing it.

The crossing had been closed until today while extensive repairs were made to the gates.

A spokeswoman for Network Rail said: "Services should be running normally now.

"It is difficult to estimate the costs of repairs but it is probably in the hundreds of thousands and that's including staff time, replacing equipment and payments to the train operator."
