Teen climate activists criticised for protesting on train tracks
Thu, 29 Apr 2021, 2:59PM
A train driver stopped by climate activists this morning did not see three youths on the tracks until the train was ''dangerously'' close, police say.
Extinction Rebellion Ōtepoti activists have once again stopped a train carrying coal from leaving Dunedin Railway Station.
It follows another protest like it yesterday.
Three young activists stepped on to the rail track about 7.20am.
