No Second Chances is a bold, hard‑hitting level crossing safety campaign and the first delivered under a new, unified rail safety brand identity.

Created in collaboration with partners from across the rail industry, the campaign represents a step change in how we work together to improve safety. By uniting under one clear and powerful message, it focuses on tackling the behaviours that pose the greatest risk at level crossings.

Level crossings are among the most dangerous places on the rail network. Many incidents are caused by brief moments of distraction. This campaign highlights how even a split‑second lapse in attention can have life‑changing consequences and reinforces a simple, consistent safety message for all users: Stop, look and listen at level crossings.

These campaigns are no longer live or being promoted to public and passengers. However, if you would like to use these resources please ask permission from Network Rail’s marketing team: marketing@networkrail.co.uk

“Stay off the Tracks” pairs first responders with professionals from the film industry to recreate the horrific effects of rail trespass on victims and their loved ones.

Protect yourself from catastrophic, life-changing injuries – or worse.

Phase two adds new content to the Stay off the Tracks campaign, addressing the emotional impact of rail safety incidents, the danger of distraction at level crossings and the internal damage caused by electrocution from the overhead lines (to be added in August).

‘Distracted? You’ve Crossed the Line’ is a public safety campaign, which aims to challenge behaviour that is the result of a distraction. It focuses on high–risk behaviours that a high portion of young adults (aged 18-34) don’t see as dangerous. For example, looking at a phone while using a level crossing, listening to headphones while using a level crossing or even taking selfies on an a level crossing.

The primary objective of the campaign is to remind pedestrian level crossing users of the potential dangers when using a level crossing. We want to positively encourage them to take responsibility for their own personal safety.

Campaign materials have been updated for phase 2, with new supporting copy lines.

These campaigns are no longer live or being promoted to public and passengers. However, if you would like to use these resources please ask permission from Network Rail’s marketing team: marketing@networkrail.co.uk
