Shocking footage at a level crossing in Cambridgeshire, as a cyclist comes within inches of being
struck by a high speed train.
Officers have released the footage in a bid to identify the woman who can be seen crossing
the safety barriers before braking hard just seconds before the train passes through.
Police say it's one of the closest incidents of near misses they've ever seen and are keen
to speak to the woman about the danger she put herself - and others around the crossing
- in at the time.
The footage comes as Network Rail launches its Track Tests safety campaign, which reveals
a third of people think they would hear a train in time to move out of the way.
