CCTV footage shows pedestrians 'risking their lives' at level crossings
Footage shows parents letting their toddlers play on live railway lines, young people doing one-armed press-ups, and dog walkers sitting their pets on the tracks for photos.
Network Rail has released a compilation of CCTV footage showing people"risking their lives" at footpath level crossings inThe company said they were just a handful of examples out of nearly 50 cases of misuse either reported by train drivers or caught on hidden cameras. In one clip, loud music plays while a teenager does one-armed press-ups in the middle of a crossing - and in another a horn sounds as two dog walkers rush across eight seconds before a high-speed train passes.
One video shows a dog walker encouraging two dogs to sit on the tracks while another takes photos of them. Footage also shows a primary school aged boy on a scooter rushing over the crossing in front of an oncoming train that arrives seven seconds later.
