Trespass

    Introduction

    Every year, members of the public intentionally trespass on the railway, putting themselves and others in harm’s way.  This not only endangers the person trespassing, but also has an impact on train drivers and other rail staff.  The rail industry wants to reduce the risk, through public engagement and by sharing research, case studies and current practice.

    Trespass an Overview
    Train travel is very safe, but the railway tracks themselves are not safe places. When people trespass on the railway, this can lead to life-ending or life-changing injuries, as well as heartache, trauma, and harm to family, friends and rail staff.  The message is simple: stay off the tracks.

When people trespass on the railway, this can lead to life-ending or life-changing injuries, as well as heartache, trauma, and harm to family, friends and rail staff. The message is simple: stay off the tracks. The rail industry has a number of programmes in place designed to help explain the consequences of playing on the railway, and help people make the right choices and stay safe.
