🚉🚩 *’Bonkers’* Train Delay Alert! 🚩🚉
Ever experienced a train delay for *this* reason? On Thursday night, passengers on the East Midlands Railway were left scratching their heads when their journey was held up because people were trying to hang flags from bridges! 😲
Railway electrification guru, Noel Dolphin, shared his disbelief on social media, saying the train was delayed due to “people being lowered over bridge parapets to attach flags.” Talk about a risky business over those electric wires! ⚡
The Nottingham to London St Pancras line had to hit the brakes near Market Harborough, adding around 12 minutes to the trip. Thankfully, the train made up time and arrived just four minutes late in London. 🚄✨
Network Rail was in detective mode, checking reports of trespassers, but found nothing fishy. They’ve reminded everyone that hanging around railway lines can cause serious disruptions and risks to safety. Stay safe, folks! 🚫
Recently, St George and Union flags have been popping up in public spaces all over England—some say it’s patriotic, others find it a bit much, especially amid heated debates on immigration. Local councils are even taking flags down due to safety concerns. 🇬🇧🚧
Remember, safety first on our railways! Let’s keep those flags flying high—but safely, please! 🙏🔒
