5. Safety by the train tracks
The number of teenagers taking risks on railway tracks has jumped by 80% in the last five years
In the past 12 months, seven children have died and a further 48 have received life- changing injuries on the railway.
Network Rail said the new figures relate to accidental deaths and injuries as a result of trespassing.
A survey carried out on behalf of Network Rail and the British Transport Police (BTP), suggests there is a lack of knowledge about the dangers of the railways among young people. It found that 15% of 13 to 18-year-olds believed it was safe to walk on the railway track if there were no trains coming. Only 37% deemed the railway to be extremely dangerous and more than half did not believe that sidings were dangerous.
