I suspect he saw someone up near the camera and stopped to challenge them. Even if I've got it wrong, that could be his defence when he gets his "please explain".

Seeing someone near the camera wouldn't be a reason to stop. It's not on railway land. Does anyone know if the reason for that stop was a signal check, or did he stop specifically just to gurn at the camera? If the latter, I suspect a meeting with his manager, without tea & biscuits, is on the cards for him...! Title: Re: Network Rail driver does a "Jesse's Diets" at Dawlish webcam.

Driver has commented about the video on social media and doesn't appear to be concerned about repercussions. Title: Re: Network Rail driver does a "Jesse's Diets" at Dawlish webcam.

As confirmed by the driver himself in the youtube clip's comments. Title: Re: Network Rail driver does a "Jesse's Diets" at Dawlish webcam.

Hopefully so: I thought it was very funny, actually - surely no safety implications, just an opportunity for a moment of train driver jest! ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
