TikTok level crossing stunt 'staggeringly stupid'
A TikTok stunt featuring a car parked on a level crossing has been branded "staggeringly stupid".
The "reckless" social media post, recorded on the line at Bromley Cross, Bolton, showed a camera and tripod set up on the railway to record the scene.
An accompanying caption asked viewers: "Would you take the risk to get the shot no-one else would?"
Insp Becky Warren, of British Transport Police said: "No picture or video is worth risking your life for."
Network Rail, which reported the footage after it appeared on the video-sharing app, blasted the "staggeringly stupid and dangerous" clip.
It issued a reminder that trespassing on railway lines is against the law.
North West route director Phil James said using the tracks "as a backdrop for a photo shoot beggars belief".
"Lives could so easily have been lost by this reckless behaviour."
Insp Warren added: "There is simply no excuse for not following safety procedures at level crossings. The behaviour shown by the individuals in this video is incredibly dangerous and reckless."
