Children Risking Lives On Railway Line

The PSNI have warned that children who were seen playing on a railway line at Clipperstown on July 4 were risking their own lives and the lives of others.

Area Commander Chief Inspector Stephen Reid said: "This is such a dangerous thing to do."

Frank Moore of Translink added his voice to the warning and asked people to heed safety advice, as new trains on the Larne line are faster and quieter than in the past.

He said: "All it takes is a split second of lapsed concentration for the worst to happen."
