Did a few aways with these BITD. Never knew they flew planes from Ringway as well!

Also, did anyone else do this?

Will Placing a Penny on the Tracks Derail a Train?

No, but what has resulted, however, are the deaths of those who've engaged in the practice.

I did it at a level crossing a couple of years ago, when a steam train visited the area. Couldn't resist it, brought back memories of Levenshulme sidings.

Mrs Lavinda thought I'd gone mad.

The train didn't derail

The woman third from the right looks like all the old biddies that used to bollock me for playing football in the street. They would threaten to call the police, I can't see it happening these days.

True. But mainly because you never see any kids playing football in the streets these days.

No they never did derail, even with the rocks lined up - which is a good job really as there would have been Local News Reporters all over the fields at the back of my house in Cheadle Hulme alongside the West Coast Main line back in the day!

I did it as a kid. One squashed penny.

You found yours?

I put a penny on the track along with a friend many years ago and they disappeared without a trace.

I suppose I was lucky but it was not far away. Never thought about it at the time.

A long time friend of mine died over Christmas. There won’t be any left soon.
Most people were betting on my early demise, based on my poor life style: too much booze, too many cigs, overweight, candle burned at both ends etc but, fuck me, I’m still here. It’s a mysteree.
