A woman died after she leaned out of the window of a moving train and was hit by a tree branch, an inquest heard.
Bethan Roper, 28, from Penarth, Glamorgan, suffered fatal head injuries on the Great Western Railway service at Twerton, between Bath and Bristol.
Fellow passengers gave her CPR but she was pronounced dead at Bristol Temple Meads station in December 2018.
An accident inspector said a lack of inspections on the line was possibly causal to the accident.
The train was travelling at around 75mph when the accident happened on 1 December, Avon Coroner s Court was told.
