Trespassers on rails in Manchester

[Oyster28catcher]

Overhead lines switched off.
Trespassers in Levenshulme area.
Delays and cancellations regionally.
Replacement train broken down. So on. Blah blah. Counted 6 different excuses on tannoys at Preston

Is this a new Morrisey song?

Far too good for that! Definitely a dull day.
Apparently, Just Stop Oil shut the line, someone climbed the overheads, and a car crashed into a bridge. The Northern rail staff are disinformation and confusion champions.

They need to put those 70s safety commercials back on where a load of kids fucking about on the railway get killed.

Spend too much time and money on SEE IT, SAY IT...

Dunno, but I bet Gary Numan was involved

Are you sure that wasn't the plot of The Railway Children you're thinking of? The alternative ending director's cut of course

I'd go a step further and create a fake story of kids that actually got killed on the railway.

They are more likely to listen if it's not factual and spread by tiktok.

Somebody would take offence at that and it would end up with NR being sued for causing upset and stress.

Station announcements and info on departure boards at Preston are supplied by Network Rail or Avanti West Coast who manage the station.
Northern Rail staff on trains through Preston give information as supplied to them in good faith. They'll occasionally downplay things such as suicides so as not to cause distress to some passengers of a squeamish disposition.
They have nothing to gain by outright lying to passengers.

One shit wonder.

We used to often play on the railway lines when we were young. I remember that film, dont remember Robbies mum being a bit of a milf tho.

Do they use trespassers on the line as an excuse to quell public unrest at a shit service? This appears to be a new phenomenon in the last couple of years. Who are these people doing it, if indeed they are?

 

[Stephen230]

No idea what went on but there was definitely more to it than “ A trespasser “

The Evening News were reporting that approx 40 police were milling around Levenshulme Station and a local church was sealed off, with nobody allowed to come or go.

You don’t get all that shit because some pisshead has decided to take a short cut home across the tracks.

The new one I’ve noticed is “Cancelled due to a short notice change to the timetable “

Dunno if he’s chatting shit but my mate who works for the trains reckons it’s a loophole they stumbled across. Where the train companies would normally get fined every time they cancelled a train. But by pretending they’ve actually changed the timetable at 10 minutes notice, the train isn’t technically cancelled but just not due to run.

Sounds a bit like bollocks that to me though, so not sure I believe him.
