Action to cut level crossing deaths

21 January 2014 Last updated at 07:46 GMT

A total of 10% of Britain's level crossings have been closed since 2010, as part of a £130 million programme by Network Rail to improve safety.

More than 700 crossings have been closed and money has been spent on power-operated gates and electronic warning systems.

Despite the improvements 10 people were killed on level crossings last year.
