November 10th 2024.
It was a heartbreaking day for the family of Trent, a two-year-old chow chow who tragically lost his life after being struck by a train. The incident occurred on November 4th, when Trent escaped from his home in Kirkdale, Liverpool. His owner, Keylisha Gleeson, immediately took to social media in hopes of finding him.
Despite several sightings of Trent wandering near the Kirkdale Traction Maintenance Depot, his family's efforts to locate him were unsuccessful. It wasn't until Keylisha's mother, Tracy, spoke to someone at the depot that they received the devastating news. Trent had been hit and killed by a train. This news was especially traumatic for Keylisha, who was on the phone with her mother at the time. The man on the other end of the call confirmed that Trent had been cut in half and was in two pieces. Keylisha was in shock and couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Due to the dangerous nature of the train tracks, it was not possible to retrieve Trent's body until specially trained staff were available. It was a long and agonizing wait for the family, who were eager to say their final goodbyes to their beloved pet. Finally, on Thursday, they were handed two black bin bags with Trent's remains inside. Keylisha described the moment as heartbreaking and said that she and her children were devastated by the loss of Trent.
Keylisha firmly believes that Trent's death could have been prevented if rail staff had taken action when they saw him running near the tracks. She is convinced that they had a chance to save him before the train hit, but they did not take it. According to Keylisha, the rail staff were aware of Trent's presence and could have intervened. However, Stadler Rail Group, who operates the maintenance depot, stated that they immediately informed Network Rail, who is responsible for the tracks, upon receiving reports of Trent's presence.
A spokesperson for Network Rail confirmed that they dispatched specialist rail operatives as soon as they were made aware of the situation. However, by the time they arrived, Trent had already been hit by a train and was deceased. It is unclear how much time passed between Network Rail being notified and their arrival at the scene. The company has apologized for not removing Trent's body from the tracks on the same day and stated that they will be reviewing their processes to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The loss of Trent has left a huge void in the lives of his family. They are struggling to come to terms with the fact that he is gone and that he suffered such a tragic death. The Metro has reached out to all parties involved for further comments on the matter. The family is hoping for answers and accountability for what happened to their beloved pet.
