Warnings Issued After Woman's Incredibly Close Call at Auckland Level Crossing

Auckland Transport is appealing for pedestrians to be more aware of its new electric trains. The trains, it says, are quieter than those they have replaced, making it all the more important for people to pay attention at level crossings.

The warning was made after CCTV footage shot on April 7 showed one woman’s incredibly lucky escape. She is seen crossing despite the flashing lights, and looking only one way down the track. A train is seen approaching from the other direction, something she realises just in time to avoid being hit. Credit: Auckland Transport via Storyful
