William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

The rule book is now modular and issued on a job specific basis to rail staff, you have absolutely no need for it, to obtain a PTS▸ (Personal Track Safety) qualification, all info you need to know will be included in the course

PTS▸ (Personal Track Safety) holders do not really need the full Rule Book, the Track Safety Handbook covers all that is required, it is often questionable whether a COSS & IWA need it, but does make as useful paper weight on my desk.

The blue document icon on this page:

provides a matrix explaining which modules they think you need for particular roles.
