Toddlers have been left unattended on a train track in Nottinghamshire in incidents described as 'worrying' by Network Rail. The organisation is now set to host a safety session as clips of the incidents at the Chestnut Grove level crossing, in Burton Joyce, were caught on camera.
Dogs have also been seen off their leads on the footpath crossing the Nottingham to Lincoln railway line, which has around 70 trains travelling on it each day at high speeds. Anna Ebblewhite, Level Crossing Manager for Network Rail, said: “We’ve seen some incredibly worrying behaviour at Burton Joyce level crossing, which shows just how unaware some residents are of how dangerous the railway can be.
“That’s why we’re delivering this interactive session to help residents understand how to use the crossing safely, and ultimately improve safety amongst the community. I really hope that people join us this Saturday - we’ll have experts on hand to answer your questions.”
