Rail chiefs have published the top 10 worst sites in Wales where young people trespass on the tracks, as they launch their summer safety message (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/7478406.stmAlmost 1,000 incidents of railway crime were reported in Wales last year with half of these by young people.
Gowerton, Pyle, Llanelli and Pontypridd top the places where young people are most likely to trespass or vandalise.
Across the UK, half of all the reported train near-misses with people involved children.
The two most common offences were trespass and vandalism. Around 400 incidents were reported last year but rail chiefs said the real number is thought to be much more.
Network rail said pranks recorded in Wales include wheelie bins, stones and metal bars being thrown at trains and placed on the tracks.
Acts of trespass include, riding bicycles on the line and hiding beneath a platform. Other incidents include graffiti and setting fire to objects on the track.
