TasRail launches Safety Campaign on Near Misses 

Sep18,2024

Number of near misses at level crossings in Tasmania near-doubles in a year, train authorities urging public caution – ABC News.

TasRail has launched a safety campaign highlighting the impact crossing crashes have on drivers and their families.

Risk and Compliance Principal for TasRail, Corrie Summers, said it was important for everyone to make the right choice every time and obey rail crossing signals.

“Our ladies and gents are out there on the front line every day, and at every level crossing they get to, they take a deep breath, and they say ‘oh please stop, please stop’ and it’s always a relief when the first person stops because that forces everyone else to,” Ms Summers said.
