Or why not simply Criminal Damage? & endangering safety of rail passengers", rather than theft, with severe minimum penalties specified by law, such that some namby-pamby do-gooder could not reduce to a token level of sentence. Dodgy scrap dealers should also face similarly severe charges & penalties. That's somewhat in conflict with the idea that signalling systems are fail-safe. Removing lumps of power cable tends to put signals out, and a row of black signals isn't especially fail-safe. Then there's the rather creative method of theft intended to avoid detection which was employed recently (for obvious reasons I will not go into details). Suffice to say the use of that method on the wrong cables could result in a decidely non fail-safe situation. -- WZR Yes that scares me what they are doing now. |
