Woman caught on CCTV walking dog along live railway lines

The reckless trespasser is seen strolling along and occasionally stopping to look at her mobile phone in the middle of the tracks as her border collie trots ahead.

Churnet Valley Railway shared the video on social media in May, warning that “trespass on a railway line is dangerous!”
