Please someone take this show off the air while the British Transport
Police still have some kind of speck of authority left. Last week show
had a police officer jump on to live train track at Cardiff station


Where is there a "live train track" at Cardiff Station. Am I missing
something here?


"Live" is used to indicate that the road concerned is open to traffic and
that a train could approach at any moment, as well as the electrical
connotation.


Sorry, I'd never heard it used in that sense before and didn't realise.
