Trespass video

Does anyone know where this was filmed?


Someone should notify the owners.

Edited in accordance with forum guidelines to confirm that “the video appears to show a large collection of abandoned railway vehicles, including multiple locomotives and carriages, left in an overgrown area. The video claims that there were more than 30 trains at the site and describes it as the UK's “biggest abandoned train graveyard”.

I believe this is taken at Long Marston and shows people entering various railway vehicles”.

There's a lot of these type of videos on YouTube claiming to have found an abandoned yard which is l presume private property, unless it's a set up and they have actually gained permissions.

That's Long Marston IMCR scrapyard

The owners of the site are well aware and patch any holes in the fence that appear with razor wire , but there's not much they can do about people getting in as long as they don't damage anything in the site.

We've had a few of these at the end of our road, scaling walls and exploring the (now abandoned) school at the top:

And as long as damage isn't caused and they just take photos/videos I don't see an issue to be fair.

Well if they injure themselves then the owner is it at risk for liability, which can extend to include corporate manslaughter.

This is way beyond acceptable and should not, in any way, be applauded

Indeed.

The operators of DIRFT were fined £6.5 million for a trespass incident that resulted In a fatality. Said to be 'guilty of failing to prevent access'.

True, but the risk of a corporate manslaughter prosecution relates to whether they have taken reasonable steps to secure the site (consistent with the risk of trespass and the potential hazards on site).

Hence the case a few years ago at Bescot depot where DB Cargo where children broke in, one nearly died by electrocution. The site is high hazard (25kV, moving trains etc) and high trespass risk (there's lots of residential areas around the site). DB Cargo knew that the site was insecure and knew that people were wandering in and out (see below) but did not do enough about it. It was the failure to take reasonable steps to secure the site that got them convicted (see ORR webpage linked below).

So if these trespassers have broken through the fence with power tools, or brought a ladder to scale it then the owner is probably OK. If they just wandered in then that's more of an issue.

The ORR investigation revealed that DB Cargo was aware that members of the public were often gaining unauthorised access to the site, with 35 incidents documented between July 2012 and June 2017. On 28 May 2017, just a few days prior to the incident, DB Cargo recorded that several youths had been spotted clambering over locomotives.

When I was at school. There were a number of locations, that were old business premises and abandoned houses. That were effectively slums. We used to gain access easily. Especially if a house, no longer had a front door. And made camps and dens in them.

All these places, have long since been re-developed and similar sites do not exist today.

I have been to the site before to take photos of the D stock there (without trespassing in the site , all photos taken from outside the property boundary) and can say there are many holes in the fence , the owners of the yard obvious know about them as they have been patched with razor wire but in a poor way , where if someone wanted to they could easily trample over this poorly positioned razor wire and enter the site.

It's likely the people in this video entered through a method like that unless the afformentioned holes have been patched more securely since I last visited.

dont get me started on these 'Urban explorers' they are a nuisance.
