Following recent police activity near Carmarthen railway station and the discovery of a man's body in an adjacent field on Saturday, January 10, we are reminding all residents and commuters to prioritise safety around railways.
While the investigation into this incident remains ongoing and is currently being treated as "unexplained," it serves as a sobering reminder of the hazards associated with railway environments.
❌ Stay Clear of Tracks: Never enter fields or areas directly adjacent to railway tracks unless they are designated public footpaths. Railway boundaries are often fenced for public protection; do not climb over or bypass these barriers.
🚸 Use Designated Crossings: Only cross railway lines at official footbridges, underpasses, or level crossings. Shortcut attempts are illegal and extremely dangerous.
Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice anything unusual near railway tracks, station perimeters, or secluded fields bordering the line, please report it immediately:
🚨 In an emergency: Call 999.
🚨 Non-emergencies: Call 101, or contact the British Transport Police by texting 61016.
