Even better than that, Shazz: from the British Transport Police website (http://www.btp.police.uk/contact.htm) -

"You can now report graffiti on the rail system on-line: Anyone with information about graffiti vandals and taggers can e-mail graffiticrime@btp.pnn.police.uk - or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."

I've already sent them an e-mail, with a link to that website, by the way.  Wink Cheesy Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I'm glad they are!  Hopefully they're already doing something about it, too!  Wink

Problem is - these sites are making their way around the forums and giving them the publicity they want!

also about time train companies used anti grafitti paint on their units,take 158761&764 not long off refresh and they were done been cleaned off but it still leaves a mark,if they had anti grafitti coating then it would be back to normal.
