I've driven THAT train to Newark and Lincoln. This is not an isolated incident. Mums walking out and spreading their arms to shepherd the kids across, like the train will stop for them. 88 tonnes does not stop quickly
That last one, even after she has JUST had a fright and hopefully a bit of a "lightbulb" moment, she still doesn't properly check the other way for a second train before walking out onto the tracks. Incredible.
It's a bit hidden by the compression but she fully tilted her head both ways after that happened. While walking not before. Gotta say where I live we don't have level crossings for pedestrians and these seem extremely dangerous. It looks hard to look over the fence before opening the gate for anyone that isn't tall and right behind the gate you're already in danger at the speed these trains are driving. Even for a protected car crossing they'd go much slower here and for an unprotected one which this one would qualify for they'd crawl.

People need to realise just how dangerous trains really are. They weigh hundreds of tonnes, can reach extremely high speeds, they take an absurd amount of distance to stop and they can't steer to avoid you. It's shocking that people fail to realise this and if I'm perfectly honest for anyone like this to be hit would be nothing short of natural selection.

I don't have a car but I would be careful if I had to use these crossings not like the idiots you see lying on the tracks or people getting their photos taken.
@@forbeswatson _"I would be careful if I had to use these crossings"_ Of course, all you need to do is look both ways and if you see or hear a train coming you wait for it to pass (and check for a second one - that gets some people). It is then safer than crossing a road because you don't need to make fine judgements, and the driver can't suddenly speed up and steer at you (I've had that crossing roads). Trouble with railway crossings is that many people know no more about trains than they read in the _Thomas the Tank Engine_ books. They seem to think that a railway line is some industrial relic that isn't in much use, and even if it is they think trains do anout 20mph, with the driver stopping it like a car if they see you, while giving a cheery wave out of the window. If they have ever been on a train it is likely to have been a preserved heritage line, and the impression they give does not help. FWIW I have both driven trains and worked on the track of 3rd rail electrified running main lines. Things are only dangerous if you don't approach them properly and with common sense.
I work right beside and have to regularly cross an unmanned level crossing with “diy” gates. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen pedestrians walk in front of trains whilst looking at their phones - often mothers with small children, even in pushchairs. I’m constantly thinking, “It’s only a matter of time” 😢
I cannot believe that in the UK there are level crossings where people can walk through without any form of safety in place to prevent them crossing if a train is approaching. Network rail needs to deal with this urgently and close, repeat, CLOSE ALL SUCH LEVEL CROSSINGS.
Still remember a BTP officer coming to my primary school, mid 90s maybe so I was about 10. We got shown a video of about messing about on tracks. I'll always remember at the end of vid someone picking up a shoe (just after we just saw kids playing on rails) inferring a foot in it etc To this day I wonder..the idiots in this video and generally...some for want of a trending video or whatever.
I don’t care about anyone else in this video their taking stupid risks beside the dog in the first clip because the Dog dosent have a choice to go over it or not and it would be so sad for it to lose its life and also the owner because the dog would be so sad if it’s owner got hit but I’m very glad both of them were safe ❤
I do sometimes laugh at the over-reaction in train crossing comments. Some of these hysterical posters should venture to the centre of cities where the closeness of potential danger is much greater and much more frequent for pedestrians.
As a retired BRtrain driver, when ever there is yet another report of somebody getting hit by a train i always hope the driver is o.k. When will these idiots ever learn that the chances are the train will always win? Even driving under perfect conditions in a four carriage train, at 60 mph i would need a quarter mile to stop. Chances are if travelling at speed, by the time you spot somebody on the track, you have hit them, just enough time to hit the brakes, sound the horn and shut your eyes.

@@Captainslinkys good point except when you see/hear a train coming at speed I think the natural reaction of most people would be to panic and fumble the latch. But I guess the only way to find out is to put some of those dopes to the test!
Many years ago when I was a kid, I knew the dangers of crossing tracks that’s probably because we was educated … people today don’t know how to cross the roads let alone railway tracks they’re always distracted by their phones. I think it’s time to show the aftermath. What happens when they get runover.
The title is "Trespass and near misses". The ones at 0:25 are trespassing for example. Trespassing is going off the board walk and also loitering on it.
There's designated place called railroad for trains and people still will find ways to throw themselves onto it. I can get accidents on the street but to die to train on crossing you gotta be "special".
I just don't get it. There is NO way I would endanger myself or my dog like this. These people ought to be forced to watch a video of a train colliding with a person then fined £5000 each. They might think twice before doing this kind of stunt again. It's the train drivers I really have sympathy for :(
Although we saw some pretty stupid behaviour are network rail not partially responsible by giving relatively easy access to a high speed rail track. Surely a bridge would be a far safer option , this is like putting a zebra crossing on a motorway.
It beggars belief that some people can be so stupid and irresponsible on the railways. They wouldn’t do that on a motorway, so why on earth would they think it was safe in an environment where the vehicle in question is travelling at higher speeds, can’t swerve and takes at least a kilometre to stop. You just end up feeling sympathy for the train drivers and the emergency services who have to deal with the aftermath of a moments thoughtlessness.
The UK has stong laws about public rights of way. Maybe Italy doesn't. These crossings are public rights of way on foot, probably from long before the railway was built. They are very useful to walkers, and it is far safer than walking along a country road which you would probably have to do as a diversion if the foot crossing were closed. Not everyone goes everywhere by car.
@@lexlayabout5757 Ok. in UK and USA there is a common law system and you can't cancel an acquired right of transit (probably it's referred at the time of enclosures in XVI century), in Italy and most part of Europe there a civil law system. Anyway in Italy you are not allowed to enter railway lines unless signalled otherwise, you may incur in a penal trial. And there is a long trail started many years ago to eliminate pedestrian and road crossings without safety. All road level crossings must have bars, lights and acoustic signals. The pedestrian ones had been susbstituted with under or overpasses. So we have much severe laws regarding railway safety.
Near miss? You have to be joking - plenty of time in all these alleged "near misses". As to the photography, while it's not something I'd want to do for any particular reason, if there is no train anywhere near, then there is no risk - QED. There are far too may people sitting at home wanting to pass judgement these days. As long as you are aware and check both ways, there is no more risk of harm on a railway line as there is in a field, provided no train is coming.
I have no concerns about them being wiped out. I'm just concerned about the affect that it has on the driver.

The Netherlands have started it, I expect England, as usual, will wait until they are 30 years out of date before the idea, to remove level crossings, occurs to them.
You just can’t fix stupidity.
If they get squatted tough luck , my concern is for the helpless train driver ….#NOCUREFORSTUPID
Some people are so complacent using crossings , so silly 🙈
I needed to know why they couldn’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for most of the mainline Trains so that they could extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock which will include the class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign all of them into an overhead wire line trains and also make most of them into Five carriages per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 8-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 10-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 507, class 508, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into 11 carriages per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers? A Stock Train and 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it even much more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 carriages per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 carriages per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Gardner 6LXC, Cummins M11, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner LG1200 and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 87 Octagon and Every 48 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 147MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 147MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!, oh can you make all of those 18 Tonne Boxes of Coal for all of those 147MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!!!! So please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!!! And PLEASE do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Near miss, so full hit?
Who the hell would build a walkway like that?
There is plenty of those walkways in the uk
These crossings are public rights of way on foot, probably from long before the railway was built. They are very useful to walkers, and it is far safer than walking along a country road which you would probably have to do as a diversion if the foot crossing were closed. Not everyone goes everywhere by car.
I don't have a car but I would be careful if I had to use these crossings not like the idiots you see lying on the tracks or people getting their photos taken.
@@forbeswatson _"I would be careful if I had to use these crossings"_ Of course, all you need to do is look both ways and if you see or hear a train coming you wait for it to pass (and check for a second one - that gets some people).
It is then safer than crossing a road because you don't need to make fine judgements, and the driver can't suddenly speed up and steer at you (I've had that crossing roads). Trouble with railway crossings is that many people know no more about trains than they read in the _Thomas the Tank Engine_ books. They seem to think that a railway line is some industrial relic that isn't in much use, and even if it is they think trains do anout 20mph, with the driver stopping it like a car if they see you, while giving a cheery wave out of the window. If they have ever been on a train it is likely to have been a preserved heritage line, and the impression they give does not help.
FWIW I have both driven trains and worked on the track of 3rd rail electrified running main lines. Things are only dangerous if you don't approach them properly and with common sense.
I work right beside and have to regularly cross an unmanned level crossing with “diy” gates. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen pedestrians walk in front of trains whilst looking at their phones - often mothers with small children, even in pushchairs. I’m constantly thinking, “It’s only a matter of time” 😢
I cannot believe that in the UK there are level crossings where people can walk through without any form of safety in place to prevent them crossing if a train is approaching. Network rail needs to deal with this urgently and close, repeat, CLOSE ALL SUCH LEVEL CROSSINGS.
Why? Pedestrians can cross 70mph dual carriageways, what is the difference?
Still remember a BTP officer coming to my primary school, mid 90s maybe so I was about 10. We got shown a video of about messing about on tracks. I'll always remember at the end of vid someone picking up a shoe (just after we just saw kids playing on rails) inferring a foot in it etc
To this day I wonder..the idiots in this video and generally...some for want of a trending video or whatever.
I don’t care about anyone else in this video their taking stupid risks beside the dog in the first clip because the Dog dosent have a choice to go over it or not and it would be so sad for it to lose its life and also the owner because the dog would be so sad if it’s owner got hit but I’m very glad both of them were safe ❤
My thoughts also!
Modern teenagers…. Can’t even take their eye of their phone for one second… not even to check to see if a train is coming. Absolutely staggering.
Prob pissed up from the Nelson pub
I do sometimes laugh at the over-reaction in train crossing comments. Some of these hysterical posters should venture to the centre of cities where the closeness of potential danger is much greater and much more frequent for pedestrians.
1:55 “What’s that purple thing heading for me? Oh, it’s a train, what am I like”?!
I’ve used this crossing lots of times and am very weary.
Wary I think you meant. WeAry is very tired!
@@stephenphillip5656 Weary of life he meant.
Taking pictures on train tracks is the height of stupidity! 🙄
As a retired BRtrain driver, when ever there is yet another report of somebody getting hit by a train i always hope the driver is o.k. When will these idiots ever learn that the chances are the train will always win? Even driving under perfect conditions in a four carriage train, at 60 mph i would need a quarter mile to stop. Chances are if travelling at speed, by the time you spot somebody on the track, you have hit them, just enough time to hit the brakes, sound the horn and shut your eyes.
Is there any warning light or anything to warn them?
Signs usually say stop, look, listen. No more than that should be required.
@@alisonwilson9749 It’s been a whole 3 weeks so my memory might not be right, but I’m pretty sure I wrote this because there weren’t any warnings. If there had been I wouldn’t have written this, capeeesh? So, no lectures needed.
It is an unregulated pedestrian crossing. What could go wrong?
As much as any road where there are motor vehicles too.
The fact people miss a train as loud as a jet engine is so shocking to me-
They identify as immortal! that's all, get over it!
This is just one of thousands of level crossings in the country
But what exactly are they doing wrong??
The gate obviously doesn't lock when a train is coming and there's no warning sounds for them.
Gate can't lock or else somebody gets stuck on the wrong side of it.
Not looking out for trains? Pretty bloody obvious.
@@3040-f9g they're clearly making it accross with a lot of time to spare
So Network Rail has allowed members of the public to decide their own fate unsupervised?
Brexit should have been a lesson that it's a fool's errand.
Christ people like you still have to get Brexit into any subject *8 YEARS* later. Change the record FFS and move on!
I could say the same about those that voted for labour and the cons at the last election. Thinking I can probably guess which way you voted!
Beware of the Engine, as the notice used to say
That’s why it says ‘STOP LOOK LISTEN’. It should say ‘If you want to be a little kid then go to the park playground
Why do the gates not lock when the train gets within a certain distance of the crossing? Easy enough technology to fit!
Presumably because that could maroon people on the tracks if they auto locked whilst they were crossing.
@@awilsonians Have a release on the track side that would allow the gate to be opened if people did get marooned!
@@Captainslinkys good point except when you see/hear a train coming at speed I think the natural reaction of most people would be to panic and fumble the latch. But I guess the only way to find out is to put some of those dopes to the test!
Is this for real ?????
Many years ago when I was a kid, I knew the dangers of crossing tracks that’s probably because we was educated … people today don’t know how to cross the roads let alone railway tracks they’re always distracted by their phones. I think it’s time to show the aftermath. What happens when they get runover.
Ppl got to be really extra careful crossing these train tracks 🛤 n with these 🚆 trains going fast n all 😮.
OMG look up from your phone for the 4 seconds it would take to look both ways! They went to a LOT of trouble to put track there, it has a purpose.
I wouldn't say they're "trespassing." It looks like a legitimate pedestrian crossing to me.
The title is "Trespass and near misses". The ones at 0:25 are trespassing for example. Trespassing is going off the board walk and also loitering on it.
Can't blame the rail companies for closing crossings.
You have to feel sorry for the people who have to clear up the mess after someone has been splattered
Never underestimate stupidity.
One thing I noticed the trains are not that long as they are normally
Some people just don't care about their friends and families. Let alone about themselves.
Darwin candidates every one of them. Sheesh. Some of them don't even look.
I'm just watching this shaking my head.
If it's a public crossing, why does the title say tresspass ??
Because some of the people shown are wandering along the track, outside the crossing area - such as the girl in the chair.
There's designated place called railroad for trains and people still will find ways to throw themselves onto it. I can get accidents on the street but to die to train on crossing you gotta be "special".
The dog's reaction was typical, instead of running away he would have started barking at the danger - I know that well enough as a cyclist.
This is simply off the stupidity scale. Those in this video need to be identified and prosecuted.
I just don't get it. There is NO way I would endanger myself or my dog like this. These people ought to be forced to watch a video of a train colliding with a person then fined £5000 each. They might think twice before doing this kind of stunt again. It's the train drivers I really have sympathy for :(
Although we saw some pretty stupid behaviour are network rail not partially responsible by giving relatively easy access to a high speed rail track. Surely a bridge would be a far safer option , this is like putting a zebra crossing on a motorway.
So.... You're saying that people need Nanny State protection from their own stupidity, then.....!?!?
Dig a underpass. This is madness.
Please upgrade your cam
Those lads messing on the line in the dark. One cell in their brains!
Surely they can find something more suitable to get entertainment from.!😮
But it’s all for TikTok and Facetwat, this is the only entertainment any of the brainwashed halfwits can comprehend anymore!
That is such a dangerous crossing. There is no warning that trains are coming. Should not be allowed.
Soo.... basically, what you're saying is, stupid people should be protected from themselves......!?!?
There's a gate, and a big sign saying "here's a train track, have a look for one before you keep looking at your phone while crossing"
petition to electrify the gates with 10 000 Volts every time a train comes
Network rail should try to put automatic locks on such gates activated activated by the train as flashing red lights are
That'll keep someone captive who's partway across when the locks activate, but don't let detail get in your way of your idea...
It beggars belief that some people can be so stupid and irresponsible on the railways.
They wouldn’t do that on a motorway, so why on earth would they think it was safe in an environment where the vehicle in question is travelling at higher speeds, can’t swerve and takes at least a kilometre to stop.
You just end up feeling sympathy for the train drivers and the emergency services who have to deal with the aftermath of a moments thoughtlessness.
In Italy rail crossings like that are illegal, because there is no safety. All level passing are signalled and the great majority have the bars.
The UK has stong laws about public rights of way. Maybe Italy doesn't. These crossings are public rights of way on foot, probably from long before the railway was built. They are very useful to walkers, and it is far safer than walking along a country road which you would probably have to do as a diversion if the foot crossing were closed. Not everyone goes everywhere by car.
@@lexlayabout5757 Ok. in UK and USA there is a common law system and you can't cancel an acquired right of transit (probably it's referred at the time of enclosures in XVI century), in Italy and most part of Europe there a civil law system. Anyway in Italy you are not allowed to enter railway lines unless signalled otherwise, you may incur in a penal trial. And there is a long trail started many years ago to eliminate pedestrian and road crossings without safety. All road level crossings must have bars, lights and acoustic signals. The pedestrian ones had been susbstituted with under or overpasses. So we have much severe laws regarding railway safety.
Heart-stopping STUPIDITY
I still think that trains should be, maybe, big and noisy so you can see and hear them coming.
there's so many things wrong with that last clip
Ok trespassing isn’t right but where are the safety features, no bell, no gates, no lights, and not train horns?
Hitting a person with a train is messy, keep away.
Near miss? You have to be joking - plenty of time in all these alleged "near misses". As to the photography, while it's not something I'd want to do for any particular reason, if there is no train anywhere near, then there is no risk - QED. There are far too may people sitting at home wanting to pass judgement these days. As long as you are aware and check both ways, there is no more risk of harm on a railway line as there is in a field, provided no train is coming.
I worry for the dogs! The Boys had more sense to look and wait then some of the older, should know better people.
Darwin said something about this. Wasn't it about 'Selection or something'?
Teen lying on the sleepers. Train toilets flushed onto the tracks until relatively recently. I wonder how long residue takes to be weathered away? 🤢
Just close the crossings, the public do not have enough survival instincts to be trusted to use a crossing in a responsible manner.
