Translink warn about pedestrian trespass
The incidents occured on the Londonderry Line.
Ian Campbell, Head of Rail Operations, Translink said, “During school holidays, incidents of pedestrian trespass on the rail network unfortunately often increase.
“The network can look like a handy shortcut or a good place to play, but the risks are just not worth it.

The message is simple - don’t ever use the tracks as a shortcut or a playground and never try to beat the barrier at level crossings.”
