According to reports, a couple and young child were spotted running along the Glenfinnan viaduct in the Highlands in the summer, with a number of other incidents witnessed since.
The viaduct is passed over by the Hogwarts Express and has become a popular tourist attraction since it appeared in the movie. However, it is a working railway line with trains travelling at speed over it.
Talking about the dangers, BTP constable Nicky Ritchie said: "We know that visitors, many of them foreign, want to enjoy this incredibly scenic area and are keen to see and capture the trains, particularly steam trains, crossing what is without doubt a magnificent structure.However, they have to realise that they need to do it safely and without breaking the law."
“Trains travelling at speed take a long time to stop and anyone struck by one is likely to be killed or very badly injured. We work closely with BTP to educate the public on the dangers of misusing the railway and are committed to making sure people fully understand the risk they face when straying onto operational railway land," Mark Henderson, senior community engagement manager for Network Rail.
