A railway crossing keeper was fairly sacked after he admitted bumping a car with a crossing barrier to “teach its driver a lesson”, a south London employment tribunal (ET) ruled. Mr A McKay worked for Network Rail as a crossing keeper from May 2005 until he was dismissed on 12 January 2018 following allegations of gross misconduct after the incident involving a car he felt had failed to respect warning alarms. McKay brought claims of unfair dismissal to the ET, however Judge Katherine Andrews ruled in favour of Network Rail, saying it had reasonable grounds to dismiss McKay and carried out a fair investigation..
