WATCH: Shocking footage of train injuries as Queensland Rail launch campaign

Shocking footage of commuters injuring themselves in careless situations around train stations has emerged as authorities reveal the number of incidents is increasing across the network.

Shocking footage of commuters injuring themselves around trains has emerged as Queensland Rail launches a campaign in a bid to tackle the ever-rising case numbers.

The CCTV video compilation includes customers willingly partaking in risk-taking behaviour as well as those who have fallen around train stations or tipped while running for trains.

One commuter even goes as far as to ride a bike towing a suitcase down a travelator, which ultimately leads to him falling at the bottom.

This passenger fell while riding a bike down a travelator at Roma St Station.

Queensland Rail acting general manager of customer service Drew Brock said the organisation was deeply concerned after more than 600 preventable injuries to South East Queensland (SEQ) customers since January, 2021.

A man fell all the way down the stairs at Central Station.

“In 2022 there were 216 people who slipped, tripped or fell while catching trains and these types of injuries account for three quarters of incidents on the SEQ network,” Mr Brock said.

“While overall 2022 figures were slightly down from the year prior, the way we’re trending in 2023, we’re dangerously close to another spike — ­with 130 customer injuries in SEQ between January and May.

“Usually people are hurting themselves because they’re rushing to make a train, distracted by their phones or trying to beat closing doors, so we’ve released these videos to drive home what happens when you’re not careful.”

This female passenger tripped and fell while running along the concourse.

The Travel With Care campaign will be rolled out across the SEQ region, with targeted messages at injury hot spots at Queensland’s busiest stations including Roma Street and Central Station to appear by the end of the month.
