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

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.
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

children rail safety messages.
