"SOME days are unbearable and on others I just cope."

Those were the words of Jade Kenyon’s mother a week before the launch of a DVD, warning youngsters not to walk on railway lines.

Jade, 17, from Snodland, died on June 19, 2006, after touching a live rail on the Medway Valley railway line at Halling as she walked home with a friend.

Rachel Farrington said she hopes the video, which will be launched at the Malling School on Thursday, the anniversary of Jade’s death, will highlight the dangers of walking on railway lines and the impact on families of the death of a relative.

She said: "For me the DVD will make no difference, it is too late, and as much as we can’t put into words what we are going through personally, I just hope it will go some way to stopping others having to go through what we are going through."

British Transport Police schools liaison officer PC Graham Cottington said: "If this DVD results in one other young person hearing the railway safety message, then that’s one less time officers like me will have to grace the doorstep of loving families like the Kenyons."

The DVD, which has been almost two years in the making, is called Jade’s Story and features interviews with Miss Farrington, 38, and Jade’s father Solly Kenyon, 40.

After being launched at the Malling School, in East Malling, the DVD will be available for schools to order online.
