West Midlands Railway (WMR)has been spreading the good word about railway safety.
It staged pop-up sessions at Birmingham Snow Hill and Wolverhampton station where experts spoke about safeguarding, mental health and how to prevent accidents.
British Transport Police (BTP) appeared alongside WMR to answer any questions from rail users.
Jonathan Hitching, head of safety at WMR, said: “Keeping safety front of mind while travelling by train is vital.
“Sadly, fatalities on the railway still happen every year. From how to navigate level crossings to staying alert on platforms, we’ve spoken to hundreds of passengers about all areas of rail safety and want to thank everyone who spoke with us.”
A spokesperson for BTP said: “The public’s safety is our number one priority, and we work tirelessly to protect everyone’s journeys on the railway network.
“Please save our text number to your phones if you need us 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40. In an emergency, always dial 999.”
The rail safety sessions took place last week. For more information, visit www.wmr.uk/travelsafe.
