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.
If you can hear the train, you shouldn't be anywhere near the train's space. Locomotives have a 100 percent victory rate when it comes to dealing with sh*theads on the rails.
@@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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gone are the days where the signalman could remotely lock the gates. Go back to locking gates like B.R did at road crossings. Does anyone remember the locking devices that would hold the gates, esp' the pedestrian ones at level crossings?

A footbridge is very expensive to install these days, if not physically impossible in many places, thanks to the disability lobby who demand that everything new is wheelchair accessible. A new footbridge has to have massive (and ugly) zig-zagging slopes up to it.
Surprised that couple with the child didn't set up a picnic.....huge fines for that carry on. Train driver could spend the rest of his life in courtrooms and prison.......
The train driver would not be blamed. I worked for a UK railway and knew several drivers who had suicides or other deaths under them. They are badly shaken up, and that is bad enough.
The fronts of trains should be made of stronger material to prevent ANY level of damage to it and when they succeed at ridding us of bad genes, the trains should simply continue on their ways. There’s really no need for any todo about it. They’re splatter putty anyway.
Obviously some of the actions are stupid and worst part is they'll just die and the conducter is traumatized but the real villain here is the infrastructure provider not building underpasses out of greed and recklessness. Incidents just happen at crossing, you will never be able to avoid them with any kind of infrastructure or with lecturing people about the dangers
This is right by the River Trent, which floods from time to time. An underpass would not be very useful. A footbridge might work, but not be accessible for pushchairs, wheelchairs and bikes unless it had long shallow ramps - in which case most people would be too lazy to use them.
I have no concerns about them being wiped out. I'm just concerned about the affect that it has on the driver.

Ppl got to be really extra careful crossing these train tracks 🛤 n with these 🚆 trains going fast n all 😮.
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.
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.
If they get squatted tough luck , my concern is for the helpless train driver ….#NOCUREFORSTUPID
One thing I noticed the trains are not that long as they are normally
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!
Can't blame the rail companies for closing crossings.
there's so many things wrong with that last clip
You just can’t fix stupidity.
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.
Near miss, so full hit?
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.
Is this for real ?????
If you can hear the train, you shouldn't be anywhere near the train's space. Locomotives have a 100 percent victory rate when it comes to dealing with sh*theads on the rails.
You have to feel sorry for the people who have to clear up the mess after someone has been splattered
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!
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.
Beware of the Engine, as the notice used to say
I'm just watching this shaking my head.
And if someone is killed the parents will claim it wasn't their fault.
The woman with the dog should have known better.Unbelievable.
She should had the dog taken off her by the RSPCA for doing that .
Ok trespassing isn’t right but where are the safety features, no bell, no gates, no lights, and not train horns?
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!
petition to electrify the gates with 10 000 Volts every time a train comes
They identify as immortal! that's all, get over it!
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.
Some people just don't care about their friends and families. Let alone about themselves.
The " nothing can happen to me..." attitude..,.,what an idiots.
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
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...
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.
I worry for the dogs! The Boys had more sense to look and wait then some of the older, should know better people.
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.
Hitting a person with a train is messy, keep away.
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.
Increadebly stupid to not build a level seperated crossing at a busy double track railway.
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.
Teen lying on the sleepers. Train toilets flushed onto the tracks until relatively recently. I wonder how long residue takes to be weathered away? 🤢
I would say natural selection!
Prob pissed up from the Nelson pub
What planet are these people on.
I think signals would be a good idea
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.
Darwin candidates every one of them. Sheesh. Some of them don't even look.
You can't fix stupid.
Some of these people might be heading for a Darwin award. As many have said it is the drivers I feel for
Gone are the days where the signalman could remotely lock the gates. Go back to locking gates like B.R did at road crossings. Does anyone remember the locking devices that would hold the gates, esp' the pedestrian ones at level crossings?
These crossings are dangerous and need to be replaced.
They're not dangerous, just use your eyes and ears. It's not that hard.
Common sense is severely lacking with a lot of people these days! 🙄
schoolbook example for a reason to build a tunnel...
In Germany we say: Unmöglich!
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.
WARNING DO NOT TRESPASS ON THE RAILWAY. It will not just fine you £1000 but may even cost your life.
Stop look and listen, beware of trains and just cross at designated crossings.
WARNING It’s not trespassing when there is a public crossing.
I remember when they used to build bridges to cross railway lines, larger fines need to be implemented
Huge cost to build and maintain also you will get the idiots who drop stuff from the bridges to hit oncoming trains, you just can't manage the innate stupidity of human beings.
I remember hearing each footbridge is a million pounds. Seems like a lot of cash is wasted
@@ScapoloMichaeland we both know the only reason it’s a million quid is because it’s you and I paying for the bugger. Reality is it’s about seven or eight grands worth of steel, couple of grands worth of concrete and the labour of men who are salaried anyway regardless of commission. Fucking piss-rip of a country
A footbridge is very expensive to install these days, if not physically impossible in many places, thanks to the disability lobby who demand that everything new is wheelchair accessible. A new footbridge has to have massive (and ugly) zig-zagging slopes up to it.
@@ScapoloMichael Wrote : _"each footbridge is a million pounds"_ Something like that because - wheelchairs. See my other comment here.
Dümmer geht es nicht mehr!!
That is the worst railway crossing I have EVER seen💀
R.I.P.
Natural selection
Surprised that couple with the child didn't set up a picnic.....huge fines for that carry on. Train driver could spend the rest of his life in courtrooms and prison.......
The train driver would not be blamed. I worked for a UK railway and knew several drivers who had suicides or other deaths under them. They are badly shaken up, and that is bad enough.
Oh and obviously the train drivers amdnthe emergency services who have to deal with this.
Its grand just move aside when train coming
Its not a trespass if there is a walkway
It is if they walk off that and onto the track area, lie down on the tracks or even sit in a chair for a photo...
Darwin Award
The fronts of trains should be made of stronger material to prevent ANY level of damage to it and when they succeed at ridding us of bad genes, the trains should simply continue on their ways. There’s really no need for any todo about it. They’re splatter putty anyway.
Obviously some of the actions are stupid and worst part is they'll just die and the conducter is traumatized but the real villain here is the infrastructure provider not building underpasses out of greed and recklessness. Incidents just happen at crossing, you will never be able to avoid them with any kind of infrastructure or with lecturing people about the dangers
This is right by the River Trent, which floods from time to time. An underpass would not be very useful. A footbridge might work, but not be accessible for pushchairs, wheelchairs and bikes unless it had long shallow ramps - in which case most people would be too lazy to use them.
@@craftsmanwoodturner It looks barely accessible right now. I don't think a footbridge would worsen that
