"Modern tracks and trains are a lot more silent and customers may not be aware they are approaching – as can be seen from the extraordinary escape one trespasser had."

Iarnród Éireann have shared CCTV footage of a near miss collision to highlight the danger to the public of taking a short cut across train tracks.

The CCTV footage from Kilbarrack station in December 2016 shows a trespasser avoid being killed by a split second, as the Dublin to Belfast Enterprise speeds through at 140 kilometres per hour.
