  • description: In 2016, there were 32 incidents in which drivers on Ireland's rail network had to hit the brakes to avoid colliding with a trespasser, including one shown in this video. Any one of these could have resulted in a tragic and needless death or catastrophic injuries, as could the incidents of trespass in Kilbarrack Station shown in this video. Trains take considerable distances to come to a halt, even at moderate speeds, and a train cannot swerve to avoid a stricken trespasser. Railway lines are a dangerous environment - don't trespass: it could be a short cut to death.
