Level crossings - Cyclists on the crossing

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.

*hears train come*
*sits on track fixing chain*

[blackholejamie]

My chain broke, let me just sit here and fix it on the track

[theDancingDragonfly]

Before you cycle over railway tracks check that your bicycle chains are not too loose

[Looiiss]

Mates: *rides on bikes*

Man: oh no my chains broken! *PROCEEDS TO FIX ON TRACK*

Women: HURRY UP MATE MEN ARE NOT HOT

Train: *destroy’s man, proving men are hot*

[raphaelnoar]

It's fault of the woman, she just ignored all that thing and continued.

I'm sorry but Network Rail. Your really loosing ideas. Really, someone's decides to fix their chain on the track. This is just stupid and because this is so stupid this turns into comedy. Now
Network Rail learn from the 1970s PIF and make something shocking, don't cut to black show what really happens when your hit buy a speeding train. Good old shocking videos, what happened to them eh?

[DJBRIDGER]

Alas, a very real message diluted by unrealistic filming footage combination. How can Network Rail's warnings be taken seriously if the scenario isn't quite so. "See Track, Think Train " campaign was much more hard hitting and realistic.

Why do I feel like this is a continuation of Top Gears biking around London episode where they created films for the board. Anyone else on the same boat? 😂

[Harryful]

Come on Network Rail people will not take silly scenarios like this seriously!

[mlrd]

One shot he's not on the track the next he's destroyed like Total Wipeout.

[nigelkthomas]

Repair a chain in the four foot? Total f🗯 muppet!

[Epalvosh]

Oh come on really? Would someone be this incompetent? Well, probably but this would have been a bit more impactful, for want of a better word, if the scenario presented was more believable. Has your bicycle chain snapped during your leisurely ride? Need to fix it but there is no hardstanding around? Find your nearest railway crossing. Don't worry about the oncoming train, you can fix it before it arrives with time to spare!
