Heart-stopping near misses at railway level crossings in CCTV released by Network Rail
VIDEO by Network Rail
Network Rail have released shocking footage to remind people of the dangers of misusing level crossings. There were 466 incidents of level crossing misuse and 28 near misses across Network Rail’s Wessex route last year.
When i was a young child it was drummed into me how certain things were dangerous, i shall always be eternally grateful for my loving parents and grandparents (who have all passed away now), they not only taught me of things that can be dangerous, but they brought me up with an unshakeable sense of what is right and wrong, i cannot fathom people out today, does life mean so little to them to go across when the lights are flashing, i am not a train lover or train buff as I think it is known by, but for me personally it would be a joy for me to patiently wait at the barrier gate and watch the train go by, use to have big white gates that went across a railway line where i lived, it was wonderful to see a goods train go by. That dog in the video had more sense, clearly the dog knew it was dangerous. What has gone wrong with human's now? I saw a video on here some months back a woman on some city tram tracks, glued to her mobile phone, the video showed inside the city tram's cab (CCTV in the cab), the poor driver slammed the brakes on, but it was too late… I live in the countryside and the bus takes you through all the beautiful countryside to the nearest town, hardly anyone on the bus looks out the window at the fields of wild animals, the little cottages, the stream running through, etc, their heads are down, glued to their phones!
almost got killed by a train when i was 13. i was with my sister and we had the radio on really loud/windows up and the train signal did not work, we pssed it by 1 foot if that
Yall might think i am crazy but the dog is the idoit here they had enough seconds to cross but the dog being an idoit nearly got the owner and the dog killed
0:36 Who the hell stops on the track? Idiot! You wanna stop, do it before or after you cross. You do realise that if anyone ever gets hit by a train, fault never goes to the driver because they can't stop in time regardless. 😡
The other week I was at Bournemouth station and had trouble getting home from a trip because someone was hit by a train. All the trains were cancelled for hours and the coaches were taking ages to arrive so I had to get a taxi instead. So many people’s journey was made much more difficult. I’m not sure what happened to this person who was hit but it goes to show how much of an effect being hit by a train has on people trying to commute. I wish people would be more considerate of the trouble it causes to so many people for acting reckless on a railway track.
I don't give 1 solitary shit about these idiots. I care for the drivers. I'm a train driver and the idea of someone in front of my train is one of my great fears. Someone who puts others at risk for a shortcut is so utterly ignorant as to not even bother with!
1:21 I know this is just a freak accident but somehow people find the most absurd ways to end up being stuck near or on train tracks, almost like God is playing dice every time someone crosses them.

Darwinism.
Stupidity in all its glory.
Shocking
What a bunch of idiotsticks. It's not hard to stop, look, and listen. I learned that in grade 1 and have never had a close call with a train.

The gates are designed to be fragile incasw your car gets stuck you can ram them
