I am surprised ther is no warning or even comment about people getting onto the ballast next to an open railway line in this:
It's familiar to millions of Oasis fans all around the world, but what's the story behind the railway station on the cover of their first number one Some Might Say?
It's the middle of winter, in the mid-90s, and Noel and Liam Gallagher are standing at Cromford railway station in the middle of Derbyshire's picturesque Derwent Valley.
Liam is on a bridge with his right arm raised in the air, saluting at a camera.
Noel is near the edge of the station platform, poised to sprinkle water from a watering can.
Every so often, trains arrive on the opposite platform, which is just out of shot but still very much in use.
Bemused passengers - travelling to Derby and Matlock - stare out of the windows as a man poses with a sink full of dead fish.
and doesn't say that one of them is standing on the ballast leaning against the platform edge. It also quotes one re-creator saying
"Our poor photographer, bless her, couldn't quite get the angle she wanted because she'd have had to stand on the train line."
and has a picture of people recreating it which I can't get to upload...
