Apart from matey on the roof, it was quiet, clean and well
organised compared to Glasgow Queen St on a Saturday night.

People sometimes climb on the roof of passenger trains at stations
in the UK, generally while drunk though not always. Even without an
overhead electrical supply this is dangerous, due to the height and
unforgiving nature of the line one may land on. With an overhead
electrical supply this is a version of Russian roulette, a version
with all but one of the chambers of the revolver loaded.

A pupil at the school my daughter went to was stupid enough to clime
on a train in Bescot sidings.

He had serious burns but did survive to return to school.

Bescot sidings! Crumbs, this explains things. An area of the country
that folk need a mega £ inducement to visit. No wonder that you have
problems understanding issues. In a former employment, I recruited
travelling folk to graze their horses on the organisation's land to
protect the assests from ravages of local inhabitants.

OMG! Its near Dudley!

That does explain a lot.
