I was so grateful to see belongings go all over the place instead of a baby!

As a father of 3 kids who use pushchairs watching this without reading the description absolutely sunk my heart!!

That's at Nuneaton, I've seen a container train at Tamworth not far down the line. So basically, I was filming it as it approached, against the wall, well back from the yellow line, and even so it still nearly blew me off my feet... they give off a hell of a lot of turbulence.

When a train passes through open countryside, the initial 'bow-wave' and the air the train drags with it are quickly dissipated. This is not the case when it passes through a station with parallel walls. The 'surface texture' of the passing vehicle entrains and accelerates it's surrounding air to higher velocities, increasing the danger, as seen above. It might be a good idea to provide open sided mesh 'refuges' for the use of wheelchair and pram operators.

I've never for the life of me, understood why airport trolleys holding just luggage, need a handle to be pushed to constantly hold the brakes off, yet a wheeled pushchair with a child, needs active input to apply a brake? Same issue if a parent trips and the buggy rolls away downhill. This isn't a difficult one to solve.

I think the pushchair did indeed "apply breaks fully", I'd say it'd be hard to break it even more fully.

Back in the 70's when Ford Transits were made near Southampton, long, dedicated trainloads on open flat wagons created huge turbulence when travelling at speed through Woking station. Apart from the risk to people on the adjacent platforms the turbulence was nearly lifting the roofs off, to the extent that a speed limit had to be applied. It was some experience being on the central platform when one went through on the up fast line.

Gosh, that freight train was travelling faster than the fastest passenger rail in Australia. Our freight trains don't go a tenth of that speed. To go faster would make freight rail competitive with roads based transport, and we can't have that sort of efficiency around here!

Thats Nuneaton! It used to have a bypass track to stop freight going through Nuneaton, sadly ripped out now! Madness!

CANS! CANS! There was no baby, it was full of cans! :D

Those sheds give off so much turbulence, especially on the West Coast Trent Valley as they do go 75 mph alot of the way

So glad some underground stations have platform screens doors because those places are more busier.

That's why never leave luggages unattended at the stations

Same thing happen in Sydney a few years ago the Mother stop and let go of the Baby pram and didn't notice when she started to playing around with her smart phone that the pram was rolling and fell onto the tracks in front of a moving train it was very lucky the baby was unharmed because it fell out and rolled down to the face of platform wall

The turbulence caused by the train did not move the pushchair at all, it was the second woman who came into contact with the pushchair(her handbag clips the top of the pushchair) and that set it into motion.

Omg! It so lucky that the baby was not in the push chair

Point is, even if a train is going slowly, there's a difference between a car going 60mph for example and a train going 60mph. A car, about a tonne and a half maybe, can get to it in a matter of seconds - a train, even if it can do it in seconds, requires a lot more energy to do so - they might be the same speed, but a train has a significantly larger amount of kinetic energy - so never touch a train moving past, even when it's travelling a few mph.

I am constantly surprised by the number of NTSB investigators that moonlight as KZfaq users.

Looks like Nuneaton Trent Valley. There was a terrible railway accident there in the 1970s involving excess speed

National Rail take note: “breaks” should be spelled BRAKES!

Pushchair, no brakes on. Luckily no one was injured. But as a parent that was an oh noo moment 😢

Stay Safe with the railways.

breaks or brakes? Someone needs to proofread the description.

Why is nobody talking about how horrifying this is to watch the first time? Jesus Christ I had to pause the video right before contact because I was about to have a heart attack. I only finished the video after reading the description.

Looking at deaths caused on the railways, I'm surprised by how few there were on British rails compared to other European countries.

My god.. that nearly happened to me at Stafford while I was filming, my tripod nearly got blown away by a passing freight..

Love recording with my young son who loves trains but we are always very careful so powerful

The track facing slope of the platform serves as the primary safety feature here

Why do they not make baby carts same like he one in Airport luggage carts? The handle spring loaded and if nobody holds it it will be on break applied mode. Are luggages more important than babies

lmaooo, would have been more funny w the baby on

My heart skipped beats thinking that push cart 🛒 has baby 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Well done. You used the incorrect form of “brakes” three times!

The train didn't dislodge the pram, it was the person's bag nudging it as she turned to face away from the camera direction. The person seems to be concentrating on kid in her arms- so she is doing the right thing. Maybe the immediate fault lies with the person who went to the loo (by the looks of it) without securing the brake on the pram. If asked, I'm sure they would have said of course it is safer to put the brake on, but as per normal, mundane daily behaviours obscure awareness of increased risk. Whilst I think the immediate fault is with the person not securing the pram, the hazard of fast trains in proximity to squishy humans is very clearly known, so the real responsibility for mitigation in the greater part lies with the owners and operators of the railway. Unfortunately, mitigation is unlikely as inserting passing loops or through lines is stupidly expensive and often the urban location of busier stations (more passengers on platforms would imply higher risk) only further exacerbates hopes of upgrading station track layouts. Alas, it is way cheaper to 'manage' the problem (public information videos like this one, posters, blister strip platform edging etc.) than fix it. This issue needs, I think be put into context- this danger, however real, is so much smaller than its highways equivalent- the monster of motor vehicle related pedestrian deaths and injuries- it is so tragically common that it seems almost to be considered routine even though the solutions are known and much cheaper to implement than for the railway.

The monorail is more of a Shelbyville idea.

That is chilling.

Bro got yeeted 💀

It's amazing how Prams protect little babies

DID SHE JUST WALK PAST LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED...

Nice, a class 66. Am I the only person who misses the London Midland 153s?

My heart skipped about 7 years till the second time watching when I noticed the baby was not in the buggy.

is the train ok?

Nice one national rail. Maybe don't get one of the baby-brained rail guys to type out your descriptions in the future.

Geez! Good thing that wasn’t a baby stroller!

cool...

Surely railway people know the difference between "breaks" and "brakes"? 🤦

Push chair didn't have enough BRAKES, but ended up with plenty of BREAKS

Did that second woman push that pushchair? It's very strange that she stood right next to it right before it set off.

That's terrifying 😨😨😨😨

Fucking mobile phones 😂. Everyone strapped into the matrix ignoring their surroundings.

Oh it's a shopping thingy, jesus i watched it like 10 times thinking it was a stroller

What I don't understand is you would have thought there would be a metal fence or mini barriers on the edge of the platforms

That chilled my blood thank God the baby was in the mothers arms

Your description spells “brakes” wrong. It is written incorrectly as “breaks”

Hopefully inspiration is taken where necessary

National Rail doesn't know how to spell brakes. And they did it twice in the description, so it wasn't a typo.

Did the second person nudge it or was it sucked in? More importantly nobody was hurt.

This is at my local station , my KZfaq channel has a lot of videos here and in one video a DB class 66 came through and once it left you could see in the video that it knocked me about I stumbled into a lamppost by the force

She should’ve put the buggy brakes on only then it wouldn’t move at all

R.I.P. buggy

this genuinely made me laugh

Jheeze… My heart dropped. Irresponsibility at its finest!

You would think British Rail of all people would know how to spell “brakes”

Always remember, stay way from the platform edge or you may get sucked off.

Also being aware of what your big butt bumps, and taking responsibility for its actions helps too.

Network Rail worker here. I see alot of comments talking about air flow. I can confirm this has got nothing to do with air flow nor was this pram sucked toward the train. When we are working on live lines, we stand in the refuge points and trains will pass us at even greater speeds than this. We are stood about 1.25 metre away from train and it does not pull you towards it at all. If anything you will be blown in the direction it is travelling but not towards it. Whats happened here is that the lady behind the one with the pram has approached it and released the brakes or knocked it causing it to roll.

It was pure luck that the baby wasn't in there

He has got fully buggered!!

The insides of babies looks different than I thought

Definitely needs lower speeds passing through live stations. We were not even allowed to stand that close to walking pace moving trains in the freightliner terminal at Leeds.

WARNING!!! DO NOT TRESPASS ON THE RAILWAY!!!! PENALTY £1000 Walking on the railway is illegal and can be really realy hazardous. The only safest way to explore the railway is buy a ticket, get on a train and enjoy the view. Railways are just for trains, not pedestrians or cars.

Wait so was it a pram or a shopping thingy that old ladies have?

I thought I was about to watch some live leak footage

For these types of stations where some trains pass it without stopping there should either be a lower speed limit that would not cause such a result or even better, addition of the platform barriers. Even half barriers should be enough. There are many metro stations that have the barriers even when there are no trains that skip the stations which results in much less air flow of this kind. I do love how platforms look without those barriers but if there is a dangerous situation as such, then they should be built. We all know that there are careless people or moments you cannot prevent yourself. However there are things that can be done before it happens to prevent it from happening.

If the issue is know why do they let a freight train rush through at that speed ?

Crazyy😮😮

I almost threw up, that freaked me out. I'm so glad there wasn't a baby in that.

all i can say is what a nice class 66

Fun Fact: The train is actually stationary. It's the platform that is moving backwards at high speed.

That must be AI video - trains running, how dare they. " Tools down - everybody out !!"

Fully thought that was a baby, Stopped the clip short and checked the comments, Thank fxxk for that

This is not the first time I've seen a stroller (or "pram" or "pushchair") roll toward a railroad track like this. This problem could easily be solved by sloping the pavement very slightly away from the tracks.

that's why you should put the brakes on in a train station

that is at nuneaton

Where?! Place name?!?😮😢😅

They should implement a speed limit through stations. That was too fast.

What if we built safer?

It's worrying that National Rail spelt "brakes" wrong three times...!

For a second, I thought you showed me a baby's demise. Glad to find out that was not the case.

It should been parallel to the wall instead of putting toward the tracks it could have been avoided

wheres the blood? terrible video

Its a good job the kid was in her arms. Omg

Thank God the child wasn’t in the Buggy!

Darwin Award 🥇 time!

She pushed it. Geniuses.

That's why fright trains need own separate tracks and never should go through passenger stops / tracks

"Cans...it was cans!"

This is perfect….I can’t stand babies crying on trains.

This is unsafe design. Yes, it’s important for humans to be aware of the hazards of their surroundings to stay safe, but it’s MORE important to design the surroundings in a way that makes them much safer…like a bypass track or a gate or just slower freight trains.

Trains passing by at speed especially freight trains produce massive wind flows like an storm so bcs of that is started moving 😅 glad there wasn’t a baby inside

Perspex barriers at chest height fixed to the platform edge will stop children and the odd drunk from falling onto the track. High speed trains, or any speed of train passing 6 foot from a passenger is dangerous due to the air turbulence as seen with this small child’s buggy.
