A team of level crossing managers from Scotland’s Railway have been visiting organisations in Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenston to promote the safe use of level crossings.
On Wednesday, June 14 and Thursday, June 15, Michael Hughes and Steven Griffen delivered presentations and handed out leaflets at Ardrossan Sea Cadets, Sandylands Holiday Park and Ardeer Community Centre.
The events were part of International Level Crossing Awareness Day (ILCAD).
Thee groups were visited because they have new or existing services that mean they use level crossings regularly and may have added time or other pressures that can distract them from using crossings safely.
Innis Keith, health, safety and environment director for Scotland’s Railway, said: “It’s great to see how our level crossing managers have engaged with the public and businesses this year for ILCAD.
"Raising awareness of level crossing safety is vital to the overall safety on the railway.
“We cannot thank those that were willing to speak to us about crossing safety enough for their time and we look forward to working with them more closely in the future.”
