The animated short, aimed at three to six-year-olds can be viewed on the ‘Switched On’ website – a free educational rail safety programme for children created by Network Rail, in collaboration with the wider rail industry.

Each year we see a spike in rail-related safety incidents during the festive period. People who are intoxicated and under the influence of alcohol or drugs take unnecessary risks that they wouldn’t normally take if sober. When you take this and apply it to a high-risk railway environment, it can be incredibly dangerous. Our aim to remind people to be careful in our stations and take extra care when drunk.

‘Beware the Bubble’ is a public safety campaign, which aims to combat accidents caused by distraction by encouraging people to be more present and mindful of their surroundings when using the railway. The campaign has been developed based on one simple, psychological and relatable truth – we all live our lives ‘in a bubble’ but sometimes this can lead to injury or harm. We see far less of the world than we think we do, especially when we’re distracted by something.

The primary objective of the campaign is to remind all rail users of the potential dangers around the railway and positively encourage them to take responsibility for their own personal safety.

In 2023 the focus of this campaign is on pedestrians and dog walkers using footpath level crossings.
