Railway crime can have serious consequences, not only for the perpetrators but for rail industry staff and the travelling public. In some cases, railway crime can result in death or serious injury as well as costing the industry financially. Fatalities and life changing injuries that occur as a result of railway crime have a massive emotional impact on families, friends and staff who have to deal with the consequences. The legal consequences are also significant, young people and adults committing acts of railway crime may receive a criminal records that harms job prospects and affects normal life.

To try and raise the the profile of the dangers and consequences of railway crime, the campaign provides free educational resources to those organisations that can spread the message on our behalf such as schools, colleges, child minders, youth centres and community groups. The rail industry remains very grateful for the support we receive from these organisations in educating young people about the serious issues associated with acts of railway crime.
