Title: IET Captain Tom Moore hits trampolin Post by: infoman on February 17, 2022, 03:23:44 in the Cardiff area being reported on Sky news in the early hours of Thursday morning with film footage.
Film footage is during day light hours,so I presume this occured some time on Wednesday. Might be worth having a look at BBC1 Wales using Sky and Freesat at 06:25 06:55am and 07:25am etc. Title: Re: IET Captain Tom Moore hits trampolin Post by: Henry on February 17, 2022, 05:52:52 https://mobile.twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1494089206208942082

Edited for spelling Title: Re: IET Captain Tom Moore hits trampolin Post by: broadgage on February 17, 2022, 08:37:47 Interesting to see the rail worker poking the trampoline with a long stick. Is he concerned that it might bite ?
More seriously, I agree that these things are a menace, though not due to biting.

Is he concerned that it might bite ? It could give them a nasty bite if the OHLE is still live… Title: Re: IET Captain Tom Moore hits trampolin Post by: broadgage on February 17, 2022, 11:46:40 The highest point of the escaped trampoline looks to be well below the OHLE and therefore unlikely to be dangerous.
Title: Re: IET Captain Tom Moore hits trampolin Post by: IndustryInsider on February 17, 2022, 12:10:19 The trampoline has already proven its ability to be blown from a garden on to the tracks. Perhaps it was considered that there could be a small risk of it being blown upwards again and into contact with the OHLE when removed?
