Network Rail has launched a new awareness-raising campaign to warn against trespassing on the railway during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Repairs will soon be complete on a section of the Cumbrian Coast line left badly damaged by three consecutive storms earlier this year.

Network Rail will begin work next week to improve a Nottinghamshire level crossing, which will make sure it can continue to be used reliably for years to come.
