I think it's also known as 'natural selection'. Eliminating the people too stupid to realise this is dangerous from the gene pool.

They have been identified and spoken too. My child goes to their school, the head phoned the police and gave them their names. I just think it was plain ignorance rather than anything else. lets hope they had a good talking too and the other kids pay attention too. ps it was shiregreen area.

Incident was at Ecclesfield:

Picture was probably taken from this bridge (http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=53.441308~-1.447988&style=h&lvl=18&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=7625787&encType=1)?

Maybe debbie6899 was referring to the school?

yes i meant the school and children are from shiregreen. And i agree plain ignorance kills but hopefully it will make kids more aware in the future of the actual danger they are in.

Funny - when I asked at a certain school for some offenders to be identified to the police from some CCTV stills, I was given all sorts of excuses..................

Ahh the law of Darwinism.... for more silly stories of people more irrisponsible and older than these children read the Darwin Awards collection there are some corkers in there

its a certain sector of society, im affraid that think the railway is a play ground! then when one gets killed the scummy familly will try sueing the railway for not putting a sign up telling kids not to do so. course, its a good rise on their social security.

A friend of mine's father-in-law was killed by a train some years ago.
He was a railway worker, but he couldn't have heard it, the coroner ruled it an accident.

Its a horrible way to die, devastating for the driver of these trains and almost destroyed my friends husband, his son.

the virgin trains have nothing to do wit it, they dont go that way and the line limit isn't 100mph
