Surprised there isn't more accidents to be fair just look at the bloke with the camera on the tripod at the start, not once did he bloody look behind him...crazy. Crossings - Don't run the risk (or stand in the middle of one!)
Yep, and the first few coaches (red) were the Hogwart`s Express... We had the job of re-profiling the wheels recently; And the Deltics are a still a serious bit of kit, even it the engine room is a little cramped.
Having seen some recent near miss footage at work (Network Rail) - For which member of staff were sacked, that was bloody close.. He wouldnt have heard that train approaching on the other line till it was on top of him anyway! That poor train driver must have cacked his pants a gooden!
Another view, he was bloody close, those little step things on the train are brushing his jacket.

Christ, that second video is more telling... It`s a good couple of seconds before he even reacts...f*cking retard... He wants to come to our place and look at the mess we have to deal with when someone gets tw*tted by one of our trains. Maybe then, he`d realise just how stupid he was.
its obviously shock or embarrassment but fk me the lengths some people will go to fulfill their hobbies is unreal especially in this case id love to see the video he was making
