I hope they throw the book at him. May send a message to others.

I HOPE he gets a Serious sentence and not the usual slap on the wrist for it. :mad:

Oh, right, I thought it ment he stole the track directly from the line, which would have been a rediculous thing to do on every level.

Even so that was a pretty wreckless and stupid thing to do. I hope he gets a good sentence.

I think he should be sentenced to go back and collect all the other track junk and litter from a 10 mile stretch of urban railway. Any railway. And take it at his own expense to a recycling tip.

That should be about twenty 40-ton lorries if my observations are correct
