‘There’s a train coming’: Toddler dances on train tracks as oblivious father plays on phone

A shocking CCTV compilation shows members of the public dicing with death at level crossings, including a father who let his toddler play on the live tracks and a teenage doing press-ups.

Network Rail has released footage of people risking their lives at footpath crossings in Worcestershire and the West Midlands to serve as a safety warning to others.

One clip shows a father allowing his two young children to play on the line as one youngster says “there’s a train coming.”

Two other people can be seen walking their dog across the track moments before a train speeds past.
