Default Jumping the single track at Finsbury Park

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
single track. For more than one moment I looked at it and thought "I
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 wimped out and traipsed through the subway)

ii) Haven't seen it done in the UK, but on the continent, yes, where
the platforms are lower. There are often signs telling people not to
do it.
