In this political climate there's no chance this will be put down to three people doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Instead the train driver will be publicly flogged, unions will strike, there will be an expensive public enquiry, trains will be outlawed or speed restricted, Adele will sing a song (because...errr...it happened somewhere near somewhere she heard of...), lights will be shone into the air, graffiti will be legalised as long as you're non-white and middle-class (because they're the problem init) and the three aspiring criminals footballers/actors will be mourned through a charity which encourages creative ability amongst those lazy feckless job shy scumbags who negatively contribute to society without opportunity.

Did I miss anything?

Probably some deranged Labour Live attendees trying to spray revolutionary graffiti on the side of a passing express train.....

In particularly poor taste.....
If it had been a steam locomotive they would have been chuffed to bits! (Sorry).

Ouch!!!! Not far off it, though, IMO.

Edit: I used to quite enjoy being Anglo-Saxon, white, hetro, male; middle-class & living in SE England. It seems I am persona non-grata these days....

The Mail left a few details out, but I've corrected that for completeness.

Dailymail said:
One theory is that they were a group of Remain voting Muslim graffiti artists knocked down by one of the many freight trains that use the line through the night when passenger services don't run between 1am and 5.30am.

BBC saying spray cans found near the bodies
I saw this as a snippet on the BBC News, it mentioned 3 bodies, Loughborough Junction, and spray cans.
As a lifelong South Londoner, I’m well aware of what the immediate area of Loughborough Junction is like, and what SOME of its denizens get up to, so with the mention of spray cans, you didn’t have to be a Mastermind candidate to work out a plausible scenario.
I note a Daily Mail link at the beginning of the thread, but I’m inclined to think that you’ll find more facts in the Beano than in that rag, personally I wouldn’t believe the date at the top of the pages in that alleged newspaper, so the link remains unopened.

It's a fairly simple process, I've sadly lost count of the amount I've done.

Multiples are relatively simple too, but let's not get down to the gruesome details.
My friends’ ex was senior in the railway industry and one time was round my house on a Sunday and was on call. She got a call reporting a train hitting a person and it was at such speed that they could only clean it up with a fire hose. Grim.

What a load of nonsense in this thread after the passing away of 3 people.

People make mistakes when they are young. Unfortunately, this mistake has cost them their lives. Thoughts go out to the family and friends of those who passed away.
