Whiteboy,

 

This man appears to be standing on the wrong side of level crossing gates, in the road, off the end of the station platform.  Behind him is a sign warning that people should not trespass on the railway (doing so is not only reckless but is also a crime).  Unfortunately, there are several deaths every year of people who do not heed the warnings around railway lines.  Railway platforms in the UK usually have a line painted on them behind which passengers are expected to stand so that they do not put themselves in danger when through express trains speed past.

 

For a better view of the location, see http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Thurston,+Bury+Saint+Edmunds,+UK&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.510723,133.857422&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Thurston,+Bury+Saint+Edmunds,+Suffolk,+United+Kingdom&ll=52.250068,0.808176&spn=0.001376,0.004085&t=h&z=19

This fellow has class!

 

You can see the big yellow markings on the ground and the people standing beyond them.  Thank you for the info DeeJay, train stations are not very common around my place...only about 100km away and not that style.

 

Oh, and that map link was awesome....I was able to get right to street level and go around....so nice to see the UK...saved me a plane ticket!  hehehehe

The country used to be covered in small stations like that till major cuts in the 1950s.  We're lucky down here as we have the UK's first high-speed service running Hitachi "bullet trains" named "Javelins" (for the London Olympics in 2012).  We can be walking around London inside an hour!  I find Google Street View useful, Shadow, if I'm going somewhere new and want to check out roads, car parking etc.  Some people think it's intrusive so there are gaps in its coverage.  Yes, beats a long wait at the airport whilst the volcanic ash clouds clear overhead here!!!  Air travel into Europe could be problematic for years to come whilst Iceland's active like this and we're waiting for the big neighbour - Katla - to explode!  Thank goodness for trains!Laughing

 If they didn't cut the smaller stations, and those things were repeatedly fly'n by.....can you imagine how much higher the death toll would be..?  Yeah...they have markings and signs, but you would think they would come up with something thats a little more of a deterrent while theres bullets zoomin by!  lol
       California has plans for a high speed train due sometime around 2016...and there are people constantly throwing themselves in front of just the commuter trains around here.I'm wondering how many more will when that bullet arrives! Surprised
