Community Rail Partnerships, train companies and industry partners are again highlighting the dangers of trespass on the railway using the annual Backtrack competition.  

The competition was launched on 5 May with the support of ScotRail at Glasgow's Queen Street Station. 

We’re supporting this year’s Backtrack competition which aims to reduce trespassing on Britain’s railways. This year, the focus is on people who trespass on tracks for likes and shares on social media. It’s dangerous, people! @backtrack_comp. Here’s a video to explain. pic.twitter.com/xnvgn4Jccy

Newcastle to Carlisle   0702, 1046, 1523 and 1923
