CCTV footage shows children playing on a live railway line with one boy hopping over the tracks to retrieve his shoe.

The youngster can be seen risking his life after his friend throws his left trainer and his rucksack onto the line where trains hurtle past at 60mph. CCTV captured the scenes at Bingham Railway station in Notts., where 50 trains hurtle through every day between Grantham and Nottingham.
A second video at the station shows two boys on the opposite platform jump down onto the tracks and casually stroll across the lines to the other side. East Midlands Railway (EMR) released the footage to warn people about the dangers of messing around on the railway lines.
