DANGER n
A letter has been passed on to the LINK
from British Rail Police who are worried
that a Toothill chila is going to be
killed soon because some are trespassing
on the railway.
"I am extremely concerned at the growing
number of reports of young children
trspassing on the Paddington/Bristol
main railway line in the vicinity of
Toothill. Whether the offenders are old
enough, or too young, to appreciate the
tremendous risk involved is immaterial
because if the practice continues there
is bound to be a fatality." from the
Superintendent of British Rail Police.

Comment: DON'T PLAY NEAR THE RAILWAY,
