I dread to think how many times I have been technically trespassing on Railway Property - usually loco sheds but yards and others. Lets be clear though - we're not talking running lines and it was usuually with a nod and a wink from whoever was around. <br /> <br />I've also spent many happy hours in signal boxes (towers) with friendly Bobbies (signalmen). It was all spoilt by the idiots who decided to start sueing against their own stupidity. <br /> <br />Would I do it again - not today but take me back to the 70s and 80s and I'd do it all over again but make sure I visited all those places that I missed then or didn't know about. I guess you could say I was unrepentent but I never vandalised, stole or put myself in the way of 100 tons of metal coming the wrong way. I might ask permission a few more times, looking back it was rarely refused and then you had a little justification. <br /> <br />The penalties have changed , it was worth the risk for a stern telling off, its not worth it for a criminal record. <br /> <br />Sorry if this appals the professionals amongst you <br /> <br />Kev
