Default Teenager dies 'playing' on hi-speed track out of Paddington

Who said he deserved to die?


Several posters.

Who said that simply being on or about a
railway line meant certain death?


It seems to be implicit in a number of posts, in this thread and many
others, in uk.railway, at least.

He didn't die because he was on a
railway line. He died because he was stupid enough to get hit by a
fast moving train.


You say stupidity, I say misjudgement. Your version would imply that any
accidental death is because of the stupidity of the victim.

Trains Don't Take Prisoners!


Pity. Could be a growing source of traffic.

Rick.
