National Rail - Think Safe, Stay Safe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 бер 2018
- Passenger and freight trains passing through stations can generate strong slipstreams. The CCTV footage shows an incident that happened on a station platform with a pushchair that didn’t have breaks fully on. Luckily no one was hurt this time.
We encourage everyone to think safe and stay safe.
Here are few tips to help you make your journey safer:
• Keep well back from the platform edge
• Hold tight onto wheelchairs and apply breaks fully
• When travelling with pushchairs strap in, hold tight and apply breaks fully.
• Hold tight onto portable items such as luggage and other belongings
Video footage:
I was so grateful to see belongings go all over the place instead of a baby!
When I saw that rolling i was genuinely wondering how this video wasn't taken down... Then it hit the train and I was no longer wondering.
@@jwalster9412 I thought the same thing. Alternatively, I thought it was going to be blurred.
lame video ,i was hoping for a baby lol , baby go weeeee!
I hope she doesn't have a child ever
Me too. Never liked babies.
As a father of 3 kids who use pushchairs watching this without reading the description absolutely sunk my heart!!
I don't even have kids and my fucking heart sunk at first till I noticed all the shit flying out of the stroller.
@@AdamRodgers-jf9bd With language like that, just as well!
As a father of 1 kid who didn’t read it either, you ain’t kidding.
@@VickersDoorter I’d argue that being overly judgmental is far worse than swearing, but that’s just me.
@@VickersDoorter Ah yes, because the use of everyday swear words is clearly the defining characteristic of a bad parent. And if you honestly believe that, I suggest you have yourself checked into a mental facility before you harm yourself or someone else.
That's at Nuneaton, I've seen a container train at Tamworth not far down the line. So basically, I was filming it as it approached, against the wall, well back from the yellow line, and even so it still nearly blew me off my feet... they give off a hell of a lot of turbulence.
I lost my cap to a class 66 hauling a container train at Tamworth
@@ECMLTrains they don't hang around that's for sure
@@swtrains1499 R.I.P cap
I have felt very strong turbulence by a lot of intermodal and car trains, a car train nearly knocked me off my footing!
You also gotta be careful really fast big trains can suck you into them
When a train passes through open countryside, the initial 'bow-wave' and the air the train drags with it are quickly dissipated. This is not the case when it passes through a station with parallel walls. The 'surface texture' of the passing vehicle entrains and accelerates it's surrounding air to higher velocities, increasing the danger, as seen above. It might be a good idea to provide open sided mesh 'refuges' for the use of wheelchair and pram operators.
That's one way to solve this problem, another would be to require anyone wishing to have a baby to first finish school and be able to demonstrate simple hazard recognition and common sense.
@@krashd How are you going to enforce that? 🙄
Or people could just put on the brake when they park something. The same rule applies for cars.
@@krashdGLHF with that.
Ooh, or frieght trains cannot speed through passenger platforms! That would be good! @@krashd
I've never for the life of me, understood why airport trolleys holding just luggage, need a handle to be pushed to constantly hold the brakes off, yet a wheeled pushchair with a child, needs active input to apply a brake? Same issue if a parent trips and the buggy rolls away downhill.
This isn't a difficult one to solve.
Good point!
Sure, its not difficult to solve, but look at companies. They want to produce as cheap as possible to sell as expensive as possible and they dont really care about the fact, that children could be killed. They use statistics for that "how likely" it would be and that is their excuse, why no automatic brakes are on those pushcars. It would cost them a fortune to alter the buildplans and they dont like moneyloss
I couldn't agree with you more. My mum took my toddler age niece out shopping, walking down Hightown Road in Banbury, which is fairly steep, she walked past a council worker on a very large ride on grass cutting machine. Despite staying as far away from it as she could, the operator hit a large stone which broke a piece of the cutting blade off which hit my mum slicing through her ankle. She instantly falls to the ground, but considering she's on a steep hill with a main road next to her she's trying to hold on to the baby buggy despite starting to pass out. Fortunately a quick thinking motorist stopped and grapped the buggy. Thankfully my mum eventually made a full recovery. Luckily the piece of metal didn't slice through the buggy. If the buggy had the brake as you described it wouldn't have been so close to carnage!!
@@michaeledwards427 I'll glad that everyone was safe in the end. 👍
It's the difference between money and child. Who cares.
Back in the 70's when Ford Transits were made near Southampton, long, dedicated trainloads on open flat wagons created huge turbulence when travelling at speed through Woking station. Apart from the risk to people on the adjacent platforms the turbulence was nearly lifting the roofs off, to the extent that a speed limit had to be applied. It was some experience being on the central platform when one went through on the up fast line.
I was based at Ripple Lane Depot in those days, the train consisted of 22 wagons (each the length of a coach) with 3 Transit vans per wagon, a very long and colourful train. It was speed restricted through Woking (I can't remember the speed exactly) for the reason you have given. The trains destination was the Ford factory at Dagenham.
What is there a baby in there or what? I’m legally blind, so I couldn’t see too much.
@@robertdawson291 Don't feel bad -- it's very hard to see. I had to zoom in on the image and then advance it frame by frame in order to determine for myself that there didn't appear to be a baby in the stroller. Whew! Coulda been a tragedy.
😆🤣🤭
I saw a couple of these trains pass through Woking, early afternoons, and some time later reading in Modern Railways that a 'speed restriction had to be applied to this particular train through Woking Station because of the turbulence. You are right about long and colourful train. The variety of Transit bodyworks and cab/chassis only units made for a stupendously non-aerodynamic trainload. At 22 wagons long the turbulence was relentless.
I think the pushchair did indeed "apply breaks fully", I'd say it'd be hard to break it even more fully.
What?!😂
@@RailWayBanditNational Rail can’t spell lol. It’s meant to be “Brakes”
@@Redchannelconditions give them a brake
@@wobblybobengland hahaha. I see what you did there.
@@andrewjg_ read the description of the video. it says to "apply breaks fully" rather than "apply brakes fully". They've made a typo, I've made a cheesy pun. See what I did there?
Gosh, that freight train was travelling faster than the fastest passenger rail in Australia. Our freight trains don't go a tenth of that speed. To go faster would make freight rail competitive with roads based transport, and we can't have that sort of efficiency around here!
you would be amazed how fast 130 container cargo trains go fast here in spain, in some lines i think cargo locos can hit 180/230kmh but i doubt loaded they do same
Well most of your freight trains are a Lot longer and heavier.
are you sure about that? In Germany, freight trains aren't allowed to go over 100kmh. In some cases, 120kmh is the max.@@phantom4E2
@@phantom4E2Bollocks. They can’t go faster than 120kph.
The Class 66 would be a great diesel locomotive if it wasn't so bloody hot and noisy in the cab.
Thats Nuneaton! It used to have a bypass track to stop freight going through Nuneaton, sadly ripped out now! Madness!
Bet there are houses there now
Luckily there was no child in the pram. It may not have moved due to the child's weight, and had the child been in the pram the mother would more likely have been holding on to the pram.
But also lucky no passer-by tried to stop the pram and lost their life
@@robertwillis4061 2 bridges over Hinckley Road and Weddington Road have been demolished, and yes, houses built on a section, and industrial estate compounds been extended onto it. Crossing Gates, Nuneaton is the new street.
let me guess, beeching?
@@rypieuwu Nah, they just couldn't be bothered maintaining the bypass track and just let the goods trains pass through the station once the new Birmingham platform had been built on the bank next to KFC.
So glad some underground stations have platform screens doors because those places are more busier.

Those sheds give off so much turbulence, especially on the West Coast Trent Valley as they do go 75 mph alot of the way
Aren’t freights restricted to 60?
@@EastMidlandsTrainspotting the aggregates trains are, but the intermodal can go up to 75mph.
@@aviationtrainsfc1 Ah ok.
@@EastMidlandsTrainspotting How cute, you think they obey speed limits.
@@cubey They have to. If drivers don't they lose their jobs, they have to put their unique number into the train computer every time they drive, and the majority of modern trains have a system called TPWS that will emergency stop the train if it is traveling too far above the speed limit. One thing that the railway does take very seriously is safety, when people don't follow the rules, it's more than just a fine and a slap on the wrist, it is the end of their career.
Same thing happen in Sydney a few years ago the Mother stop and let go of the Baby pram and didn't notice when she started to playing around with her smart phone that the pram was rolling and fell onto the tracks in front of a moving train it was very lucky the baby was unharmed because it fell out and rolled down to the face of platform wall
i remember that, i was living in sydney at the time, it was all over the news there
The turbulence caused by the train did not move the pushchair at all, it was the second woman who came into contact with the pushchair(her handbag clips the top of the pushchair) and that set it into motion.
Point is, even if a train is going slowly, there's a difference between a car going 60mph for example and a train going 60mph. A car, about a tonne and a half maybe, can get to it in a matter of seconds - a train, even if it can do it in seconds, requires a lot more energy to do so - they might be the same speed, but a train has a significantly larger amount of kinetic energy - so never touch a train moving past, even when it's travelling a few mph.
Pushchair, no brakes on.
Luckily no one was injured.
But as a parent that was an oh noo moment 😢
Omg! It so lucky that the baby was not in the push chair
The baby would have weighed this down and it is unlikely to have been pulled in had the child been in it. Physics is a wonderful thing, but doesn't make for a sensational video.
@@WhatALoadOfTosca I disagree, the buggy is full of bags just exchange them for the baby and the weight may have not been much different.
Is not Baby is Fake Baby I DON'T know Fake or real?
Lets try it and see?@@WhatALoadOfTosca
@@WhatALoadOfTosca your idea of physics is so wrong its making me laugh my head off. You need to start again from scratch pal. The baby WOULD have made the buggy go faster. What on earth are you thinking?
Why is nobody talking about how horrifying this is to watch the first time? Jesus Christ I had to pause the video right before contact because I was about to have a heart attack. I only finished the video after reading the description.
Somehow I doubt National Rail would post a video of a baby being splattered by a freight train to UA-cam without warning.
@@hotelmario510 Well yes, that's fairly obvious in hindsight, but for me in the moment I just looked at it at face value.
same ,:D !!!
I expected the woman to jump in and catch it but then it just... kept going... and going... and WHAM.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 Yeah, I guess I might have been thinking that as well. "Surely it's gonna be one of those 'close call' videos." But it just kept rolling...
It never occurred to me that there just wasn't a baby in it. So when I read the description I was like "Oh, so it's gonna catch the lip at the last moment or something."
I honestly laughed so hard at myself when all the junk spilled out everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure this ruined that lady's day and I feel bad for her, but compared to what I was expecting it's pretty hilarious.
It would be like giving away the punchline before the end of a joke. Just wouldn't be as funny
The monorail is more of a Shelbyville idea.
Looks like Nuneaton Trent Valley. There was a terrible railway accident there in the 1970s involving excess speed
The train that derailed was travelling under clear signals through a section of track that was being worked on and for which there was a speed limit in force, marked by a temporary trackside sign ("20" or "25" [m.p h.]) made visible by a gas-lit lamp. It seems that the lamp had gone out and the loco driver forgot about the temporary speed limit for which the only visible reminder had been the little trackside lamp (no longer visible). The resultant high speed derailed the train which ran onto the Nuneaton platform. If B.R. had run the train under 'single yellow' signal aspects through the track-work section, the train would have had to run at low speed but it seems that there was no 'protocol' for such action: it became a matter for the train-driver's memory of the route-particulars for that day/evening.

@@McLintox I first thought that those 2 women were not together, I thought there was a baby in the carrier, because I couldn't see it that well. But now that you say so, you might actually be right about that
The baby went flying through the air. I am unsure how a mother would not have noticed what was happening.
@@greghayes9118 I don't think there was a baby in that stroller.
breaks or brakes? Someone needs to proofread the description.
I’m glad there were not any ad brakes!
National Rail take note: “breaks” should be spelled BRAKES!
Pathetic isn't it 🤣
Hey come on now, they're railroaders. Prob had a few when they wrote the description
Nobody proof reads anything any more, not great is it..
Love recording with my young son who loves trains but we are always very careful so powerful
Nice, a class 66. Am I the only person who misses the London Midland 153s?
Why do they not make baby carts same like he one in Airport luggage carts? The handle spring loaded and if nobody holds it it will be on break applied mode.
Are luggages more important than babies
That's true
Many of them got a security system like that.
My god.. that nearly happened to me at Stafford while I was filming, my tripod nearly got blown away by a passing freight..
That is why tripods are not allowed on train platforms among other reasons. Did you get me now?
😂😂
@@butikimbo9595Since when were tripods not allowed? Besides it was a flimsy little piece of crap, nothing like the sturdy one I have now

Stay Safe with the railways.
lmaooo, would have been more funny w the baby on
Well done. You used the incorrect form of “brakes” three times!
One would rather assume that Network Rail would need to know that one! ;-D
The train didn't dislodge the pram, it was the person's bag nudging it as she turned to face away from the camera direction. The person seems to be concentrating on kid in her arms- so she is doing the right thing. Maybe the immediate fault lies with the person who went to the loo (by the looks of it) without securing the brake on the pram. If asked, I'm sure they would have said of course it is safer to put the brake on, but as per normal, mundane daily behaviours obscure awareness of increased risk. Whilst I think the immediate fault is with the person not securing the pram, the hazard of fast trains in proximity to squishy humans is very clearly known, so the real responsibility for mitigation in the greater part lies with the owners and operators of the railway. Unfortunately, mitigation is unlikely as inserting passing loops or through lines is stupidly expensive and often the urban location of busier stations (more passengers on platforms would imply higher risk) only further exacerbates hopes of upgrading station track layouts. Alas, it is way cheaper to 'manage' the problem (public information videos like this one, posters, blister strip platform edging etc.) than fix it. This issue needs, I think be put into context- this danger, however real, is so much smaller than its highways equivalent- the monster of motor vehicle related pedestrian deaths and injuries- it is so tragically common that it seems almost to be considered routine even though the solutions are known and much cheaper to implement than for the railway.
yea I was gonna say having a freight train blast through the station like that seems like a lot of needless risk to the passengers
Apparently there used to be a bypass for fast freight at Nuneaton, but it was removed. At least that is what the internet claims.
To be fair, a bypass isn't necessary. All they need is platform screen doors. They have some that are only half the height for outdoor stations like this.
I respectfully disagree. I feel this is the case of natural selection at work. This will thin out the gene pool.
How the hell is this the railways fault again?!?? Always someone blaming us. Passengers are responsible for their own belongings and keeping them safe not railways equipment/staff. Just thankful there wasn’t a baby in that pushchair
Geez! Good thing that wasn’t a baby stroller!
Looking at deaths caused on the railways, I'm surprised by how few there were on British rails compared to other European countries.
Why are you surprised?
@@WhatALoadOfTosca My surprise is due to other comments. Based solely on the 2022 stats I used, Italy and France had 3-times as many deaths, whilst Germany was 7-times and smaller countries like Belgium and Austria were similar. But that's not including suicides
@@Paranomasia12thats probably because other countries have more train usage. England apart from London has bad train Service accordingly not many people use it apart from greater London were the infastructure largely is more modern.
@@Paranomasia12train network is vast in Germany, dedicated freight trains daily run from Germany across Europe. They maintain the largest freight humping yard in Europe, Britain has none!
Pretty simple kids are taught early on to stay away from vehicles like trains and cars. This along with separating them from the public with fences does a world of good
The track facing slope of the platform serves as the primary safety feature here
Most platforms, which go onto buildings, of which the example in the video seems to be no exception, have slopes that decend away from the tracks (see drainage channels in front of buildings). It seems that this was entirely the powerful draft pulling the buggy into the train and overcoming the upward slope of the platform.
that not from the slope thats from the air being pulled along by the train
No it doesn't the primary cause here is a negligent human who is not paying attention, not aware of her surroundings. Completely oblivious. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would not leave a wheeled contraption unattended on a platform. People are so dumb
@@markylon Yeah! She was so negligent she was caring for a toddler instead of watching over her empty pram! She should have just dropped the kid and grabbed it when she saw it moments after it began moving from being so oblivious! She shouldn't have left it unattended while standing right next to it!
There certainly are some dumb people out there.
Do you see a problem from your perspective yet? The perspective that has clearly never taken care of a child? The perspective that seemingly jumps at blaming the victim and I'm guessing "totally isn't biased" because it happened to a woman?
There's no slope, it's just the CCTV camera distortion
What I don't understand is you would have thought there would be a metal fence or mini barriers on the edge of the platforms
That is chilling.
Push chair didn't have enough BRAKES, but ended up with plenty of BREAKS
Thanks for THAT
Surely railway people know the difference between "breaks" and "brakes"? 🤦
National Rail doesn't know how to spell brakes. And they did it twice in the description, so it wasn't a typo.
Also being aware of what your big butt bumps, and taking responsibility for its actions helps too.
Nice one national rail. Maybe don't get one of the baby-brained rail guys to type out your descriptions in the future.
DID SHE JUST WALK PAST LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED...
Hardly anything happened. Someone lost some stuff, oh no. There wasn't a child in there
Yeah I was gonna say lol, I was like why tf doesn't she care her child just died horrifically.
Did that second woman push that pushchair? It's very strange that she stood right next to it right before it set off.
I thought I was about to watch some live leak footage
Oh it's a shopping thingy, jesus i watched it like 10 times thinking it was a stroller

Perspex barriers at chest height fixed to the platform edge will stop children and the odd drunk from falling onto the track. High speed trains, or any speed of train passing 6 foot from a passenger is dangerous due to the air turbulence as seen with this small child’s buggy.

@@user-un9ej7th6j so do trains
Network Rail worker here. I see alot of comments talking about air flow. I can confirm this has got nothing to do with air flow nor was this pram sucked toward the train. When we are working on live lines, we stand in the refuge points and trains will pass us at even greater speeds than this. We are stood about 1.25 metre away from train and it does not pull you towards it at all. If anything you will be blown in the direction it is travelling but not towards it. Whats happened here is that the lady behind the one with the pram has approached it and released the brakes or knocked it causing it to roll.
Would I be correct in guessing the platform is not perfectly level, but instead has a gentle slope toward the tracks to shed rain?
@@TUKByV The older platforms yes. The newer ones tend to have better drainage and dont need the slope although most of the stations in the UK are old.

Fun Fact: The train is actually stationary. It's the platform that is moving backwards at high speed.
Top Secret?
They should implement a speed limit through stations. That was too fast.
Keanu Reeves: “Cans! It was full of cans!”
Trains passing by at speed especially freight trains produce massive wind flows like an storm so bcs of that is started moving 😅 glad there wasn’t a baby inside
If the issue is know why do they let a freight train rush through at that speed ?
So that you have less delays for this and other trains.
because we live in a world where money is the only thing people with power care about so of course they wouldn't delay a freight train for being a potential safety hazard. not unless the government stepped in and made them
@@clasher3355 They could just install platform gates instead of delaying the train.
Here in Belgium across the channel freight trains can only go about 10-15 kph through train stations in cities and about 20-25 kph in the countryside where there is more space between train and platform.

WARNING!!!
DO NOT TRESPASS ON THE RAILWAY!!!! PENALTY £1000
Walking on the railway is illegal and can be really realy hazardous. The only safest way to explore the railway is buy a ticket, get on a train and enjoy the view. Railways are just for trains, not pedestrians or cars.
Does walking on rail crossings counts as tresspassing since i did it?
Car rail crossings to be exact
@@SalmanMentos No, and I don't know what you mean by "car rail crossings", there is no such thing in the UK. If you mean the level crossings you find on roads, they can be used by anyone not just car drivers.

Thanks for the info (the level crossing is a pretty popular place to trainsspot here)
Um. These people aren't trespassing on the railway. They're standing on the platform of a railway station.
Its a good job the kid was in her arms. Omg
true, although the kid would add roughly 15kg to the pushchair, which would make it slightly more immune to the train's aerodynamic suction.
@@stephenoxfit's on wheels, I can push a few hundred KG with a single hand I'm sure the suction could start moving after that it's fair game.
R.I.P. buggy
all i can say is what a nice class 66
For these types of stations where some trains pass it without stopping there should either be a lower speed limit that would not cause such a result or even better, addition of the platform barriers. Even half barriers should be enough. There are many metro stations that have the barriers even when there are no trains that skip the stations which results in much less air flow of this kind.
I do love how platforms look without those barriers but if there is a dangerous situation as such, then they should be built. We all know that there are careless people or moments you cannot prevent yourself. However there are things that can be done before it happens to prevent it from happening.
A train running over you at 1mph will kill you just as well, and you cant stop people who just WANT to throw themselves in front of a train. There are slower speed restrictions on trains passing through stations, but imagine every train having to slow to a crawl at EVERY station. The time wasted would negate the point of using rail transport alone.
Yeah this design isn't safe. Platform screen doors, slower speeds through the station, a third middle track, or redirecting full-speed trains to a bypass around this station would all make it safer. People make mistakes, good design forgives for these mistakes.
Metro trains tend to all be the same type of design though, this being the national rail in the uk the doors and places where trains stop on the platform might be different...
@@mariusfacktor3597 That's a joke right? National Rail stations generally have different stock with different door locations making screen doors difficult. Where is the land and money coming from to "bypass" each station on the network? This was a freight train, as such it was probably doing less than the line speed any way, but how slow do you want them to go, 50, 40, 30? Slow trains cut capacity, no one is going to want that.
How about people just take some personal responsibility for once?
@@McLintox exactly that is why I say barriers. we all know that going that slow would be extremely inefficient.
that is at nuneaton
Thank God the child wasn’t in the Buggy!
that's why you should put the brakes on in a train station
This is not the first time I've seen a stroller (or "pram" or "pushchair") roll toward a railroad track like this. This problem could easily be solved by sloping the pavement very slightly away from the tracks.
Congratulations, your platform is now a giant puddle when it rains, and the buildings on the platform are flooded.
@@noxious89123 That can be easily dealt with. Put a canopy over the platform, install drainage lines on the platform. It's still better than having strollers roll onto the tracks every time the parent looks away for a moment.
Maybe the stupid woman should have been paying attention to what was going on around her instead of on her phone
I have a much more cost efficient method. Put the damn brakes on.
@@MetalFan10101 Does every stroller even _have_ brakes? (I honestly don't know. But I don't think so. One thing I *_do_* know is that this isn't an isolated incident. It's happened before. And I'd hate to see an innocent baby get killed or horribly disfigured and permanently disabled if that could be avoided by simply re-grading the platforms.)
I thought this was gonna be an ad for the rail, but it wasn’t 😅😂
Is like that scene from SPEED lol
What if we built safer?
It should been parallel to the wall instead of putting toward the tracks it could have been avoided
Thankfully it seemed no kid was in the pushchair.
it's like that one sceen from speed where the bus hits a baby carrage but it is just trash.
She pushed it. Geniuses.
Doesn't look like it. It also doesn't explain why it continued to accelerate towards the edge of the platform. There's also no reason to do something like that.
It was a statement, not a question. it was stable. The train was going past without any effect. She stood next to it, turned, nudged it and it rolled on to the track.
Seriously stupid people on the Internet these days. used to be only smart people could figure out how to log on...
@@1738Creations I do know the difference between a statement and a question. I'm still going to reply to stuff if I think it's wrong. I'll refer you again to the fact that the pram accelerated towards the edge of the platform, so it can't just have been the nudge that did it.
@@SonOfFurzehatt Then don't respond to me. I wasn't asking you a question and it's not a debate.
You're a nobody with a below low-IQ. If you can't see the person in the video has pushed the pram on to the tracks then your eyes are as worthless as your brain.
@@SonOfFurzehattI can up vote my own comments too.
Darwin Award 🥇 time!
Wait so was it a pram or a shopping thingy that old ladies have?
That must be AI video - trains running, how dare they. " Tools down - everybody out !!"
This is real
This is perfect….I can’t stand babies crying on trains.
wheres the blood? terrible video
There was no baby the baby luckily was in the toilet
Safety is in the eye of the beholder(please don't stand on motorways or train platforms).
The train trying to steal someone's groceries 😂😂😂
