Not sure if this is the correct section so please feel free to move if necessary.
Genuine question - is the position of the engineering team in this video safe? Can't attach the video as the forums don't allow MP4 files but it is here on TikTok.
I am no railway expert, merely a keen observer, but to me this looks rather unsafe. Trying to work out where on the network this is - it appears the train is a CrossCountry Voyager or Super Voyager to me.
Video description - group of around nine workers wearing high vis sitting/lying at edge of line on track ballast. One is wearing a COSS armband. Train approaches at speed causing workers to be buffeted by the train's wake. Most lean forward and one covers face with helmet to avoid being hit by any ballast spray.
