    Paige is clearly a very bright girl and she is probably so familiar with that crossing that even she forgot to Stop, Look and Listen. This piece should be shown in every school in the British Isles.

    I would expect there is a whistle from the train approaching the crossing. She didn't mention that she heard the train coming, only that she saw it at the last minute. Glad there was a happy ending.

    I remember when I had a near miss while waiting at the train station I young & dumb standing on the yellow line distracted by a freight when the California zephyr arrived the engine was so quiet I didn't hear it coming till I heard the horn & then I panicked & ran off. Afterwards I got on the California zephyr & rode it to Chicago. A ride I enjoyed & I hope to someday ride Amtrak again even if I have no particular place to go. But also having grown up w/in 700ft of a mainline I have learned to respect the trains & the RR but I have seen people do dangerous things on virtual railfan...

    They really oughta put some warning signals at the tracks. A sign reminding you to look both ways is good, but a flashing light with a high pitch sound would be better.

    I remember when my mum and I were walking with her friend who was with her daughter. My mum’s friend’s daughter jumped over every gate and nearly jumped over the level crossing) gate. She didn’t but she got a very stern telling off after what she was about to do.

  • @nigelkthomas9501
    @nigelkthomas9501 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just take care. The Cambrian Coast line is hardly a high speed mainline. It’s common sense to simply look left and right before crossing. Anyone who fails to do this is asking for trouble.

  • @JT29501
    @JT29501 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Since they seem to be so close to a road level crossing, would it not be too hard to get a siren and red light that links up to that, as an extra precaution? Obviously its best if all stop, look and listen but some people will still forget. That could also allow blind/partially sighted people to use the crossing..

      From the video, the driver gave a blast on the horn as a warning as per the rule book. The girl did the right thing, once she'd realised her mistake, and 'took cover'. That is why it was a 'near miss' and nothing worse.

Would you stand in front of a missile if it was charging towards ya?
