Earn £1.6m



Man hit by New York subway train after drunken night out he doesn't remember awarded £1.6m for losing leg

A Brooklyn man who was drunk when he fell into the path of a subway train and lost part of his leg has been awarded $2.3million (£1.6million) by a jury.
Dustin Dibble, who reportedly had a blood-alcohol level of 0.18, has admitted that he was so drunk he doesn't even remember the incident at the Union Square subway station in April 2006.
But Dibble's lawyer argued in court that the driver had time to stop the train when he saw the 25-year-old lying on the tracks 55 metres away - and the jury agreed, assigning most of the blame to New York City Transit.

Glorifying crime

10:14am Tuesday 24th February 2009

WE COULD not believe the headline Tributes to Prisoner (News Shopper, February 11).
While we have every sympathy for Tom Collister’s parents, family and friends, the fact is he was a convicted vandal.
What sort of message does the headline send out to those young people who do not need much excuse to play the hero by daubing graffiti and vandalising property?
The story seems to glorify Tom Collister’s crime and portray him as a victim rather than a young man who had committed a crime and was being punished for what he had done.

Train vandal sentenced

Train vandal sentenced for £17,000 damage spree (from a couple of weeks ago)

A bored man who spent hours vandalising rail property was sentenced today for causing nearly £17,000 damage to trains and trams in south London and Surrey.
The graffiti vandal received an eight-month suspended sentence at Southwark Crown Court.
He was also handed a 12-month supervision order, a six-month curfew and five-year ASBO prohibiting him from possessing graffiti paraphernalia and from entering parts of the railway.
***** was arrested after BTP mounted an operation to target vandals who commit graffiti offences over the Christmas period when the rail industry comes to a halt.
He was arrested on Boxing Day 2007 and continued to commit offences in 2008, despite being on bail.
"Network Rail, Southern and London trams in Croydon suffered a combined total of £17,000 damage as a direct result of ***** criminal activity," PC Garden added.
Judge Christopher Hardy said vandalising trains and railway property was a very serious matter.
He said ***** was a persistent vandal with criminal offences dating back to 2002 "When [graffiti] is sprayed randomly on other people's property it’s simply vandalism." he said.
"And apart from lowering the tone of areas where it is found, particularly in regard to railway stock and public transport, causes very great inconvenience to the whole of the travelling public."

Tube line to cross South London



SOUTH London will get its first east-west Tube line following an announcement yesterday by the Government and London Mayor Boris Johnson.
Work on Phase 2 will begin in three months and is due to finish in 2012.
It will see a line running from Clapham Junction, to Docklands and the City, via Wandsworth Road, Clapham High Street, Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Queens Road Peckham and Surrey Quays.
A cash shortfall means the planned station, Surrey Canal Road, between Queens Road Peckham and Surrey Quays, has yet to be decided

Network Rail

Some moaning from Network Rail today about people jumping lights and rail crossing barriers. Yeah fair enough, the guy on this vid has got some seriously big balls. The vid I see on GMTV was even worse than this one -
