Rail Safety
Key messages from Network Rail
- At present the trains are still running (although this may be at different times to usual so never presume you know when the next train will pass)
- It is against the law to trespass on the railway and can result in a fine of £1000
- The Electricity is ALWAYS switched on around the railway
- Always Stop, Look and Listen before using a Level Crossing
