All aboard it’s rail safety week and transit police and protective service officers are out engaging with commuters and pedestrians to raise awareness of rail safety practices.
A moment of distraction around trains can change your life forever.
Expect the unexpected and watch out for trains and trams on our metropolitan and regional networks. When travelling, transit staff encourage people to take these steps to ensure they stay rail safe:
* Take off your headphones when walking near the tracks
* Don’t rush to beat the gates
* Stand back behind the yellow line on platforms
* Hold on or take a seat where available when travelling.
* Stand back. Look up. Stay rail safe.
