Seems a bit lenient to me, but then again, it's not techincally speaking, a fine.

So a 14 year old who is already subject to a 12 hour curfew order, which says a lot about him to me, does'nt realise he should not be on the railway. My 5 year old grandson knows he does'nt go on the railway. Do you know why? Because I have told him so.
This is just another example of a "thicko", probably from a family of "thickos" who will never learn.

I don't think that the quote above is fair to the BTP, the problem they have is that when they catch someone doing something illegal on or about the railway they go through the process of charging them and bringing the case to court, then the fanny on the bench lets them go with bad boy/girl don't do it again, The cops just think WHY THE HELL DO WE BOTHER. It must be hard for them.

It happened a couple of months back to one of my co-workers, He was out snow ploughing and hit a 16 year old youth on a viaduct. Unfortunatley the youth paid the price of being hit by a class 37 at probably 55-60mph. But my point to this is the youth father had recently retired from the police force and his mother is still a serving police officer, the youth was a pillar of the community he never did anything wrong.
OK he was 16 would have been 17 in the next couple of days, he had been out drinking,was tresspassing on the railway at 0300hrs approx and he does,nt do anything wrong.

Hi Les,
I think that is the case with the police in general, they are not allowed to do what is needed.
Look at the situation in Manchester this week. After watching the TV footage, how can anyone say that the police over reacted. That is what some moron said this week.
I know damn good coppers who have left the force because they are fed up of being taxi drivers for drunks. We have a major problem in this country, and I dont think it is limited to our country alone, it is now socially acceptable to get out of your skull and cause mayhem, but not acceptable to stop these people from causing the mayhem.
As sorry as I feel for the parents of the boy killed by the train. The only answer is, he should not have been where he was.
Paul.
