Having a few festive drinks? Take care around the railway and get home safely
每年在节日期间,铁路上有与酗酒有关的事件有飙升。人们暂时忘记风险,因为它们受药物或酒精的影响。

由于冠状病毒大流行,这个圣诞节可能与他人非常不同,更少的人能够社交和普遍取消办公室。但尽管存在不确定性,我们的挑战仍然是相同的:鼓励醉酒的人安全地在铁路周围安全,并减少与酗酒有关的事件和伤害。
Data shows year-on-year increases in incidents like:
- slips, trips and falls in stations
- 驾驶员或行人跳跃或编织障碍的风险
- trespassing and running across the track
And despite a 60-70% reduction in passenger numbers during the coronavirus pandemic, we’re not seeing the same reduction in these alcohol-related incidents.
That's why we're advising passengers and the public tostay safe around the railway特别是在几杯酒后:
- Standing back from the platform edge, behind the yellow line
- Taking your time on stairs and escalators
- Walking – not running
- Staying off the railway tracks
- Using level crossings safely
- Speaking to staff if help is needed
