RED Videos: Passenger Behaviour

There are around 3 billion platform-train interface (PTI) interactions each year and incidents are relatively low. However, around 48% of the total passenger fatality risk on the mainline railway network can be attributed to PTI events.

Why do passengers sometimes detrain or self-evacuate? It’s often due to trains breaking down, destroying our passengers’ own timetables and promises to employers, families and loved ones. RED 61 gives you the story, provides pointers on how to reduce the risks, and suggests ways to help keep everyone in the picture when an incident occurs.

Stations can be places where assaults and accidents occur. In this RED 60 programme, we hear about the risks, what the industry is doing to tackle them, and what we can all do to help.
