Dog walkers sitting their pets on the tracks for photos, teenagers doing one-armed push-ups and parents letting toddlers play on live tracks are just some of the incredibly dangerous behaviour caught on CCTV at level crossings in Worcestershire this year.
As a safety warning to others, Network Rail has released a compilation of CCTV footage showing people risking their lives at level crossings.
“In so many of the incidents filmed, the difference of just a few seconds could have led to tragedy for those involved. I can’t downplay the danger they were in – with serious injury or worse a huge possibility," said Alexandra France, Network Rail Level crossing safety manager.
