Mark Goodall, Network RailS Wessex Route Director, Said: The Railway Can Be Dangerous If Misused. Trains Are Heavy And Need Long Distances To Stop, And There Are Hazards Like The Electric Rail. However, Safe Train Travel Is A Great Experience. By Working With Schools, We Aim To Teach The Next Generation How To Use Our Network Safely. We Engage With Schools In Various Ways - We Offer Free Rail Safety Sessions, We Offer Try The Train Initiatives And We Also Collaborate With Schools To Improve The Look And Feel Of Stations. We Appreciate The Support From These Schools And Look Forward To Collaborating With Others To Promote Safe Behaviours For Communities And Passengers. Jane Lupson, Safety And Security Director At South Western Railway, Commented: Safety Is Always Our Top Priority, So ItS Fantastic To See So Many Schools Across Our Network Recognised For Their Outstanding Work In This Area. Initiatives Like Rail Safe Wessex, Along With Our Continuous Engagement With Schools, Play A Vital Role In Educating Young People About Railway Safety, Helping Them Travel With Confidence Throughout Their Lives.
