The joggers, drunks and reckless who took a shortcut across train tracks and survived... while 50 others over the year have died

At Leeds station, a woman casually climbs onto the track of an oncoming train.

She trips over but seems more worried about her handbag than the hulking mass of metal approaching her. Luckily for her, she makes it to the other side without getting hit.

CCTV footage from the same station shows a man in his twenties, probably drunk. He too dices with death by climbing down onto the track and blindly stumbling to the other side, where he is hauled to safety.

But they, and others like them, would do well to know that nearly 50 people have been killed after taking shortcuts and trespassing across railway lines in the last year, according to Network Rail.
