Thwarted
The result of a fail really but thought it worth the upload to tell the story......
A West Mids Class 172 stands blocking my intended shot of DRS/Chiltern Class 68 No. 010 working 1K50 1715 London Marylebone to Kidderminster as it passes through Cradley Heath.
Trains were running with caution through the station, due to an idiot (drugged up or half cut) crossing the running lines to get from the Brum platform to the Worcester platform (despite the presence of a perfectly serviceable footbridge).
The act of stupidity happened about 10 minutes before I took this shot, just prior to the arrival of the previous (Worcester bound) train. In fact, the guy had just stepped up onto the edge of the Worcester platform as the train entered the station, no doubt causing a worrying moment for the driver, who give him a blast. The moron then tried to board the train but wasn't allowed to. As far as I am aware, when I left the station car park, he was still sitting on the platform, waiting for the next train, and had not been apprehended....
