Not at all disgraceful. As of now I cannot find a copy of the Judge Enright's actual remarks. However the BBC report says the neither the Police nor the Highway Authority were able to say with any certainty whether or not that bit of footway was shared use.
Whatever the merits of the sentence that followed, the defendant was convicted by a Jury. She was not honest with the police and, per that report, showed no remorse until very late on.
If you were similarly challenged while on railway land where may not have any right to be and fell in front of a train would that be a case of too bad; he was where he should not have been.
