The man climbed on the track at Pallion station
A man has been caught walking onto the train lines at Pallion’s Metro station, proceeding to walk in the direction of South Hylton.
While he was walking a Metro train driver saw him alongside the tracks and stopped his train to allow him to board.
British Transport Police (BTP) have now released CCTV footage of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident, which happened on February 27 around 5pm.
PC Graham Adams said: “I am shocked to see people willing to risk their lives by trespassing on the tracks to save themselves a few minutes. This was an incredibly stupid thing to do.”
Anyone with information relating to this incident is asked to contact BTP on 0800 405040 quoting reference B11/NEA of 18/03/13. Alternatively contact independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
