Title: 73-year-old Denies Obstructing Railway Line At Bathampton Post by: Lee on July 17, 2009, 16:23:49 A handyman accused of obstructing the railway line at Bathampton by stopping his van on the level crossing has denied the offence - http://www.thisisbath.co.uk/news/73-year-old-denies-obstructing-railway-line/article-1176155-detail/article.html
According to the article, he was sat in his vehicle when the bonnet was struck by a commuter train travelling at 60mph. He escaped unscathed.

Did the railway move closer :?

Discretion prevents me from using the language that I really want to to describe his stupidity.
