A video shows a man in Lincoln lifting the barriers and walking over a level crossing
Network Rail has warned people not to risk their lives by copying an online video in which a man crosses a railway line after lifting the closed barriers.It was posted on TikTok and has attracted more than 2.6m views. Elisha Allen from Network Rail described it as "incredibly dangerous behaviour" adding the person involved was "lucky to be alive".'Real danger'
"In this particular location there is a bridge - with lifts - over this crossing so there is absolutely no need ever for anyone to lift up the barrier. "The level crossing is a busy and active route across the railway, and it can present a real danger if not used correctly.""Unfortunately, we see hundreds of people taking risks like this on and around the railway every year - and no TikTok video is worth risking your life for," the force said.
