When my dad was a fitter on King George Dock in Hull, he was occassionaly called upon to help the P-Way gang repair the fences along the KGD branch here in Hull. As he described it, it was a never ending job. No sooner had they patched up the gaps, than the little buggers would cut holes in the fence again. Makes you wonder if it's all worthwhile.

There is a school of thought amongst road designers, that it's actually a waste of time putting up warning notices on the roads, the theory being that drivers would take more care if there was an element of danger involved in driving. In other words, not being told of potential hazards would make drivers drive more carefully. I wonder if the same theory would work if applied to the problem of trespass on the railway?
