Yesterday morning I was stopped at a Featherston rail crossing, as the lights and bells were going. I glanced down the tracks to see a train at the station and in doing so, I saw a 2-3 year-old child walking down the tracks!
I got on the horn and gave a long blast, then unlocked my belt to get out and make a run for the kid. Before I opened the door, I saw an 'adult' who was in my blind spot, walking just ahead of the child. They then wandered off the tracks to stand in the middle of the road and talk to someone in a car waiting on the other side.
You just have to wonder how some moron rock-apes manage to remember to keep breathing... |

I saw that idiot walking along the tracks with the kid in tow. I was the driver of the train at Featherston Railway Station that departeded heading towards them about the same time they got off the tracks. Mind you, that was mild compared with some of the idiots (already half-pissed) were getting up to on the rail corridor in the Hutt Valley (most of them were in fancy dress) as the Sevens idiocy continued into the second day. And this morning, there were drunks passed out on most station platforms down the Hutt Valley when I passed through there. At Wellington Station, they had cleared all the assorted crashed-out drunks off the platforms and out of the place not long before I arrived, with the help of Chubb Security and the Police. |

I agree Os. What is the bet that same parent/adult will be the first to complain loudly if in 5-20 years time that child, now bigger and older is hit by a train due to thinking that the track or the road is an ok place to wander aimlessly. |
