Good on you Barry, and you too Michael!
We enjoy good posts.
Most Railfans have not realised that they have always been trespassing. On
the job we tend to wave to most guys, but we do pick up the phone and report
the idiots! [not too many of the second, so far]
I think the Goverment Railways have been slack, and I can see why the
Private Railways will have to be on the ball.
Legal action lost could cost millions in both defence and penalties, even if
the Company was doing nothing less than was done before.They could very
easily be bankrupted.
It wont be long before Freight Victoria do similar things.
