Peterborough train service slammed emergency brakes on to avoid children on the tracks
Children in Peterborough are being warned of the dangers of railways after a number of youngsters were seen playing near the tracks in the city.
A high speed train driver had to slam on the emergency brakes after spotting children on the lines yesterday.
Now parents are being urged to keep their children safe.
A spokesman for British Transport Police said: “We have seen an increase in children playing on the railway between Hampton and Fletton area of Peterborough. Today an LNER service had to apply its emergency brakes due to 4 children being on the tracks. Do you know where your children are playing?”
