Launching On Sunday 14 December, The New Timetable Will See Changes To Train Schedules, Including Increased Frequency And Altered Timings On Several Routes.

With New Services And Revised Train Times Coming Into Effect, User Vigilance And Patience At Level Crossings Is More Critical Than Ever. There Are 6,000 Level Crossings In Operation Across Britain And Every Level Crossing Is Different Depending On The Surroundings And Its Usage. Over The Last Four Years There Were 154 Recorded Near Miss Incidents On Network RailS North And East Route, Involving Pedestrians And Drivers At Level Crossings.* The Route Comprises Yorkshire And The Humber, The North-East And Parts Of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire And Derbyshire. Network Rail Is Urging The Public To Stay Safe When Using Level Crossings By Highlighting The Following Advice: Network Rail Continues To Invest In Safety Improvements At Level Crossings, Including Installing New Barriers And Warning Systems, Rolling Out Safety Signage And Engaging With Local Schools And Communities On User Best Practice. Andy Cunningham, Network Rail Route Level Crossing Manager, Said: Level Crossings Are A Vital Part Of Our Railway Infrastructure And They Demand Your Full Attention, Yet Complacency And Distraction Are Putting Lives At Risk. With Timetable Changes Coming Into Effect This December, We Urge Everyone - Whether Driving, Cycling, Or Walking - To Take Extra Care And To Stop, Look, Listen And Obey The Signals Every Single Time. Waiting A Few Minutes Is Infinitely Better Than Risking Everything. *The Total Near-Miss Incidents Involving Pedestrians And Drivers At Level Crossings Occurred Over The Four Rail Years From 1 April 2021 To 31 March 2025.
