Level crossings - Mum in a hurry

Watch this film to understand how complacency and distractions at level crossings can lead to crisis.

There are approximately 6,000 level crossings in Britain and every day they are used by thousands of people to cross one of the busiest rail networks in the world. Trains can travel up to 125mph so it’s important people pay attention and follow the instructions in front of them.

Lives can change in a split second. Look, listen and live at level crossings. Please share this important safety message with your friends and family.

For all our national news, campaigns and to see how we're at the heart of revitalising Britain’s railway, please follow:

"Double kill"

Network rail knows how to send chills down my spine with a simple video.

[Robdc]

People need to realise that when the yellow light is on at a level crossing, the train is usually only 26 seconds away, so don't risk it to save time, very few people survive being hit by a train.

[dieselfox]

It seems its the same train that runs them over every time

[harveyquinn]

Wait for people claiming it's a racist video

[damianmatras]

You would not believe how many people actually do that. :'-( Pay attention to the signals! A 70 tonnes, 200km/h train is not a toy!

[ChilternRailPhotography]

The 153 may be a smol train but it’s a quick boi

[GreatWestern]

You gotta make it way more graphic than that!!

[Captain-Cardboard]

Course, in reality the train would come through about three minutes after the lights and alarm started.

[Nathan_A_RF]

Again, good message but would be better at an AHBC and not at Stallington with it's faulty alarms.

The way the baby
KNEW.WHAT.WAS. BARRELING AT THEM WAS JUST ABOVE HUMANITY

[butikimbo]

In other words, life can end in a split second. Repetitive warnings and instructions not always are easy to learn and put in practice. Learn by own mistake can be a deadly way to get it.

[CVNTCOUTURE]

Mom:hmmm, should I drive I a car and listen to the alarm or walk and be deaf

[mousa]

The Train is the East Midlands Railway Class 153

[jasmineamer]

You just shouldn't take risk near train tracks

[robnewman]

In Future. Stop, look and listen out for oncoming Trains.

[DaveDVideoMaker]

Do NOT break the law, and don’t take chances with your life or anyone else’s.

[tanyajackson]

There needs to be education that the flashing lights mean STOP rather than "hurry up and cross before the barriers come down".

[blackholejamie]

Might I say, what a selfish mom putting her toddler at risk of a very painful death just because shes running late to something

[dustpanandthebrush]

I opened a brand new bottle of baby oil for this !?!?!?!?
