Trespassers simply don’t realise thateven after a train has put on its brakes it can travelup to 2,000 metres (the length of about 20 PremierLeague football pitches) before stopping. Not onlythat but wind turbulence produced by trains can dragsomeone standing by the tracks under the train’swheels.Statistically most trespassing and vandalism incidentson the railway are committed by boys aged betweeneight and 16 but children as young as five has beenfound risking their lives by playing on the tracks.Network Rail has set up a website called ‘Rail Life’(www.rail-life.co.uk) dedicated to educating youngpeople on the dangers and providing real lifeexamples of the consequences of trespassing onthe railway and I would be grateful if you couldencourage your students to thinkAnyone witnessing dangerous or illegal behaviour onthe railway should contact the British Transport Policeon 0800 40 50 40.Contact: Laura McHughTel: 0141 555 4523Email: laura.mchugh@networkrail.co.ukStanding with MalalaDo you remember Malala Yousafzai?She’s the 15 year-old that the Pakistani Taliban tried toassassinate last October because of her strong voicein the fight for women’s rights and youth education.The Taliban gunmen shot her in front of her peers-- but she survived and she has not stopped fighting.On 12 July, she marked her sixteenth birthday byspeaking at the UN.
