⚠️ DO NOT TRESPASS ON RAILWAY LINES ⚠️ We may not be operating any passenger train services at this time. However, we will be operating maintenance trains. Uploading videos and images of your stupid behaviour is irresponsible. bkrailway.co.uk/keep-off-the-t… #KeepOffTheTracks ^JS Retweeted by SRPS Steam Group
