Iming,

I do notice though that the stabling yards at Sandringham are equally as
useless. They have razor wire fences on the sides, and all the CCTV's,
but there is a crossing there where one can just walk straight through,
or do they close these somehow at night? Either way, the trains are
accessible by simply climbing over the station fence onto the platform.
The setup at Sandingham has certainly confused me.
