Hide AdA spokesman said: "It's coming towards the end of the summer holidays, the kids are complaining about being bored and you're happy to get them out of the house. But do you know where they are playing or hanging around right now?
"We really don't want to be knocking on your door with heartbreaking news in the next few weeks.
"So please, please make sure your child knows the railway isn't a playground or somewhere to hang around.
"Talk to them about the dangers and show them this shocking footage shows which illustrates exactly why."
