Delivering Rail Safety in Lanarkshire Communities – Keeping Young People Safe

Delivering Rail Safety in Lanarkshire Communities – Keeping Young People Safe
February 14, 2025 by Suzie McCheyne
News

In 2024 our Community Rail Partnership decided to look to support young people and safety in and around our trainlines. We have been working with Learn Live to reach our young ones through schools and since Jan 2025 our project has reached 14 schools and we have managed to educate a total of 5,362 young people. 

Since 2019, Learn Live have reached over 19 million young people in 11,500 schools across the UK in partnership with the Trespass Improvement Team at Network Rail. Learn Live delivers rail safety via live or on demand rail safety broadcasts using the Learn Live channel delivered digitally into the classroom or assembly halls.

Rail Safe Friendly provides schools and the rail industry with an opportunity to work together towards a common goal to improve rail safety in all schools across the UK using content from Network Rail.

Here is some feedback from the schools – Glencairn Primary School ML1 1TT
1) How engaged were the students with the safety video presentation from Network Rail?
Very engaged, it caught and kept their attention from the very beginning. It made the dangers
clear and encouraged them to pay attention from the initial story.
2) Do you think they now know more about the dangers of the railway than before the start of the
session?
Yes.

3) Did your students have any questions or comments about the videos? If so, what were they saying?
A lot of them were not aware of electrified rail lines and were concerned about how far to be from
the rails when waiting for a train. They were also shocked by how far you could be from live rails
and still be electrocuted.

4) What other information would you like us to include in the Network Rail presentation about rail safety or the railways in general that would be of interest to your students?
All explained thoroughly enough.
