. . . a few tips
to keep you safe when travelling on trains

Always stay behind the yellow safety line at the platforms edge.
When you have to travel at night or early in the morning always try and wait for the train in the NightSafe Area

Never wait around the station - always catch the first train that will take you to your destination.
When entering or leaving a train always watch your step, often there is quite a gap between the train carriages and the platform edge.
Do not attempt to change from one carriage to another while the train is in motion.
Electric trains are very quiet and you may not hear them approaching. Always keep a safe distance between yourself and the platform edge.
Never play near or try to touch any electrical power supply lines or electrical equipment. These lines and equipment can carry many thousands of volts of electricity and could easily electrocute you or a friend.
For extra safety always try to travel with a friend or group.
When travelling with a group try and seat yourself nearest the doors to make it easier to leave the train when it stops at your station.
