This is the shocking two cyclists can be seen risking their lives as they pose for a photo on a busy railway track.
One can be seen making his way onto the tracks to take a picture of the other who stands in the centre of the crossing where trains pass through at speeds of 60mph.
On a separate occasion, CCTV captures a couple posing up a storm on the dangerous tracks in Rye, East Sussex.
One individual can be seen sticking her extending one leg and arm out as the duo perilously stood on the edge of the tracks.
A woman wearing a mustard top coupled with a bright pink skirt photographs the duo as she misuses the railway crossing.
CCTV of the railway which features several trespass warning signs, shows several incidents of people walking on the tracks or playing on the foot crossing.
Several have since been reported to the British Transport Police for misusing the foot crossing of playing on the tracks in Rye.
Extra measures have been put into place to tackle the issue, including more signage, installing cameras, and hosting educational events.

Network rail has since issued a stark warning with fast-moving trains, slippery lineside conditions posing a risk of loss of life or life-changing injuries.
As well as the risk of being struck by a train, the third rail – which powers trains – carries more than enough electricity to kill and is always on.
James Neeson, Network Rail level crossing manager, said: ‘Incidents of trespass on the railway cause issues for everyone using the network, where an individual could sustain life-changing injuries and in the worst-case scenario, loss of life.
‘A photo for social media is never worth the risk of putting yourself in this extremely dangerous situation.
‘It’s disappointing to see people blatantly disregarding their own and others’ safety.
‘We sincerely urge people to stay off the tracks and ensure they understand the risks of trespassing.
‘Anyone who witnesses any trespass incidents is encouraged to report what they’ve seen to BTP via the text service on 61016.’
Nic Dooris, Network Rail’s community safety manager, said: ‘The level crossing at Mill Lane in Rye is on a busy section of track.
‘It’s crucial that the level crossing is only used as a means of getting across the railway, and under no circumstances should people loiter or play on crossings and put their lives at risk.’

Chief Inspector Adam Swallow, of the British Transport Police, added: ‘Trespassing on the railway is not only illegal but it can result in life-changing injuries or even death.
‘*Electrified lines and trains which travel at speeds of up to 60mph on this stretch of railway, often silently, make the railway an extremely dangerous place to be.
‘I’d urge parents and carers to have conversations with their loved ones about these dangers.
‘Where we know trespass is a concern, we will increase our patrols, looking proactively for those breaking the law.
‘I would urge any member of the public who witnesses anyone trespassing to let us know by texting or calling us on 61016.* In an emergency, always dial 999.’
