Train
Training – V/Line’s rail safety program
V/Line
introduces Rice Blackstool and “Train Training” during Rail Safety Week

School
children put themselves in danger at train stations, by crossing the tracks
when the train is approaching, or not standing clear when trains arrive and
depart from the platform.
Would
you like the tools to help show kids the right way to behave around trains?
A kit that
provides a fun yet educational approach to rail safety is now available to
school teachers who would like to motivate their students to behave safely
around trains.
Parents
can also use our online resources to teach young
children rail safety messages.
Train
Training kits
include:
- DVD - A safety DVD was created by
V/Line in conjunction with Metlink. The movie features key safety messages
aimed at primary school age children.
- Activity
sheets -
these sheets include a word search puzzle, colour-in pages, spot the
differences and a maze page for the children to complete.
- Posters - a series of four classroom
posters featuring the four key messages.

We also
encourage teachers to book travel with V/Line through the My Train travel program. My Train provides up to 20 children
and four adults free off-peak return travel (excluding Fridays). This program
can be used only once per primary school per year. (This program is not offered to secondary schools.)
