This idiot is on a bike - linky
On Monday morning a joint Network Rail and British Transport Police mobile CCTV van, which was in the area watching for motorists jumping the lights, spotted a female cyclist ducking under the lowering barrier at the Roundstone level crossing in East Preston and getting stuck on the railway.

Jeez, for the betterment of the entire species, we should be promoting darwinism, not actively trying to prevent it.

I was going to post more idiots up before I got distracted

This is the moment a cyclist escaped death by inches after barging through gates at a level-crossing into the path of an oncoming South West service to Waterloo.
Video footage shows the “aggressive” man lifting his mountain bike over the railings outside North Sheen station, before prising open the gates to squeeze himself through in front of a crowd of schoolchildren.
Shocked bystanders pleaded with the cyclist to wait, but he screamed back “I don’t f****** care mate” – a split-second before the train rushed past.

Busy stations tend to have slower fast trains and freight trains if they only have two platforms. Less busy ones have faster ones. Either way you stand back from the yellow line as directed.
