Travel through Inverkeithing station? You might recognise this location...

We've been using a tamper to make sure the track is in tip-top condition. Smoothing out any minor bumps and confirming what's actually out on the ground matches our engineers design.

The 4.35-mile #SevernTunnel is one of the toughest environments on our railway, where moisture and saltwater wear equipment faster.

🙌 We've successfully trialled an innovative system to eliminate previous corrosion issues.

Seven out of ten 18-34 year olds believe they could escape an oncoming train but 98% of them are unaware how long trains take to stop in an emergency.

The rail industry, is urging the public to stay safe when using level crossings by following the advice:

- Stop, look, and listen. Every crossing is different so always read the signs and follow the instructions.

- Understand warning signs (lights, barriers, alarms) and obey them fully. Always follow instructions at each level crossing completely.

- Check both ways before crossing. If there is a train coming, wait behind the barrier or marked line until it has passed. Remember there may be more than one train, and they may be coming from different directions.

- Cross quickly and safely. Make sure your exit route is clear and do not stop when crossing.
