Absolutely. If kids want to work as chimney sweeps rather than go to
school, who are we to stop them?


Straw man. Or should that be child?

Any rule that states that no one no matter what shall do anything on the
railway without prior permission even if doing so could prevent a
derailment
is a rule that needs to be re-thought. Do you think 50 years ago a station
master would have waited for health and safety clearance before he removed
an obstruction from the line?


Perhaps if this chap really was a 'station master' he would have been
allowed that discretion. But he won't have been a station master, whatever
the reports actually say.
