The railways are safe when the rules are followed. But every year accidents are caused by those rules being ignored. Whether it’s taking a short-cut home, graffiti or being drunk, people ignore the rules of the railways every day and put their lives at risk, as well as risking the safe running of the railway. We work with the public and communities to alert them to the dangers. The safety of people on and around the railway is our priority. Education is key, especially for young people. |

The strong and enduring relationships we have with our local communities is a source of great pride to us – and one that we believe is essential to the economic development of our business. Support is given to innovative, dedicated safety education centres operated by local public authorities within our network areas. The centres are based at DangerPoint in North Wales; Safety Central in Cheshire; and The Risk Factory in Edinburgh and are designed to educate and raise awareness of accidents, injury prevention and personal safety in a safe and controlled environment. These centres provide realistic settings, specifically designed for children and young people, as a background for safety education through hands on experiences in the home, on the roads, at the farm or in the country, and on building sites. |
