BRITISH Transport Police has begun a week of action targeting people who misuse railway crossings.
Operation Look will see BTP officers and colleagues from Network Rail carry out extra patrols across the country, as well as visiting schools, youth clubs and businesses.
Between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014, 732 motorists were charged or summonsed for crossing misuse; a further 740 received fixed penalty notices, and 102 were cautioned for traffic offences.
Another 2,125 drivers were sent on safety-awareness courses.
