Switched On is a free educational rail safety programme. In order to continue to deliver high quality, engaging resources we have introduced a registration page requiring users to sign up to be able to download resources. This helps us to evaluate content to make sure it meets the needs of educators and their pupils.

What’s that sound?

Pupils are presented with a level crossing and station scene – they can click around and listen to different sounds. Are they sounds that help keep them safe e.g. a guard’s whistle? What else might they hear? This earns them their Sound Spotter badge.
