Pedestrians near-misses on railway tracks

Pedestrians near-misses on railway tracks. en Z and Millennials are the most likely age groups to be hit by trains because they are easily distracted by their phones, a damning study has found. Network Rail have released a shocking CCTV montage showing people risking their lives on the train tracks. In one chilling clip a teenage boy is seen standing on the lines while gazing at his mobile, just moments before a train passes. Another clip shows a young dad walking two children across the tracks while utterly absorbed by his hand-held device. It comes as new data reveals nearly half of people (47 per cent) admit they’ve made a mistake while being distracted by their phone.
