Changing trains at Finsbury Park the other day, I needed to get from
one northbound island to the other, which are separated by only a

could jump that"*. The platforms are plenty wide enough to get a good
run up. So:

i) Would this be trespassing on a railway?
ii) Has anyone done this or seen it done?

I doubt if it could be construed as trespassing, but it could
definitely be construed as endangering the safe operation of the
railway and its staff and passengers (if you hit someone on landing,
for example). I would strongly urge against it - the gap is about 10
feet or 3 metres, which is a fairly long jump.
