maybe they have bad eyesight and need to get closer to get the numbers !!

or they are obsessed on train driver courses !!

but know little about health & safety

Out of interest, what was that? I've heard of people dropping wheelie bins on the line from a footbridge in Hatherly (one full of ballast!) which trains have hit causing minor damage (the one with ballast was found by a policeman).

i got on an electrostar a couple of weeks ago from horsham-pulborough and when i went back i had the same train (i know because it had a pigeon splattered all over the light cluster area) i then saw it again later on at clapham junction

The 91 has 2 splats!

The other on the light cluster

Either that or it was a rather bouncy pigeon....

If I'd bothered taking a photo of a meridian one day going through Harpenden I would have got an impact shot. I just heard a big thud then the pidgoen flew into the air and landed on the track. Just trying to find the phot..........
