I was told last night of an incident that was witnessed within the last few weeks on Network Rail.
A friend of mine was talking to a driver at Stafford station who had been stuck there for over 3 hours trying to make his way back to Crewe. A class 70 was on its way through northbound on a train of empty coal hoppers and the stranded driver had spoken to his colleague on the 70 to pick him up. The train slowed to somewhere around 15mph through the platform road and the driver on the platform made a running jump onto the loco!
Human nature being what it is this sort of thing will always take place no matter what rules and regulations are put in place.
