Just been on BBC East Midlands Today that the Midland Railway Centre has fallen victim to the braindead louts that infest this country. The cretins smashed windows on a couple of coaches and done other damage. Flogging is too soft for these idiots.

 

East Kent Railway have reported on Facebook that they have suffered multiple vandalises along their line during the week.

That is a serious occurrence. Usually it is called mindless vandalism but I get the impression that it was targeted - almost a vendetta maybe? I hope the culprits are arrested.

 

A few months in borestall or a course on civil engineering on railways work and a bit of hard labour trackside ganging community payback to repay society back to these mindless vandals to cure em if they dont attend the course take their privilges away and more time in borestall or send em back to court for breach. If they copped their faces on camera or any witnesses saw owt on the E.K.R.

 

The Severn Valley Railway has suffered a visit from the non functioning brain cell brigade, result fire damage roof at County Park Halt.

Anyone on FB care to copy and paste for the benefit of us non-FB people?
(And don't say we can 'skip and continue' without logging in. That's not an option that I am offered).

 

Thank you. Let's hope some people may be able to help with relevant info/dash cam footage as requested.
(I was going to simply 'like' but that would have been rather inappropriate given the actual content of your post).

 

Avon valley railway been targeted by thieves and stolen thousands of pounds worth of parts for various steam engines been restored including gauge glass fittings and steam heat traps but not touched the power tools at Bitton, this occoured in the night on the 5 May I spotted the story on Gloucestershire live on my Google news feed today.
