Not quite so far from the truth as something similar happened at Peterborough not so many months ago. The line from Orton to the ECML is still used albeit very rarely and a family were calmy bouncing their buggy along the middle of the track when a visiting loco crawled up as silently as possible behind them and they were subjected to an exceedingly vigorous blast on the horns. I hate to think of what might have happened if the line was in serious use and the loco had been travelling at any speed other than a walking pace. I do not think that family will try the 'short cut' again.
Some weeks later I mentioned that trains did still use the track to some young people riding their bikes along the same track but had reached where it joins the NVR proper and have no need to relate their response to being told of the dangers. John (G)
