Metro Trains bloopers released as part of new safety campaign

Like clips from cult '90s television show Australia's Funniest Home Videos, Metro Trains has released the footage to show commuters on the perils of rushing on station platforms as part of a new campaign dubbed 'Check Yourself Around Trains'.

"We’re running more trains than ever before and if you’re just about to miss one train there will be one along just behind it." "We saw an incident only last year where an individual did rush for a train [and] ended up being dragged along the platform and was seriously injured." "Safety is a critical concern obviously, and encouraging people to be safe around public transport is an important message, [but] train services in general need to be updated. More frequent train services would help stop people needing to rush."

New mobile phone advertisements have also been launched to encourage passengers to remove their backpacks when boarding, move down the carriages and keep doors clear.
