Well, if you want another, severed limbs and stray body parts scattered around make the place look untidy.

You're right - this IS going round in circles.

You say: it's a dangerous place, and you'll get hurt.

I say: but there are lots of other dangerous places where we're allowed to exercise our own judgement.

You say: ah, but we're not legally responsible for you there.

I say: ah, but if you weren't legally responsible for us on the railway, what then?

You say: it's a dangerous place, and you'll get hurt.

So fine, I'm done here. See you on another thread :)

Another way of summing it up: any law which directly or indirectly prohibits (or even permits) you working on the track without the relevant skills and permission will not affect the fact that it is still a dangerous place and you shouldn't be there unless evacuated. As we've been saying.

So, next time it's windy, I'll look out for reports of someone getting electrocuted by a tree caught in OHLE whilst they were trespassing. Seriously, do what the professionals tell you when you're in their workplace, or that will happen.

Now, I think that concludes this quite well.
