Again, another idiot, and this time with full barriers, you can see his shoe being knocked off by the train.

For our resident train buffs, the train in this footage is a class 357, which is essentially an overhead electric version of the class 170 which is featured in the first clip on this thread.

Lucky for him he was wearing running/sports shoes :)

Late post in this thread, and apologies. This kind of thing really gets my goat tho. As a Londoner, I am pounded night after night on and in the news about the rights of cyclists. About how as drivers, we ignore cyclists, or how wider birth we give them. Day after day, week in, week out, I watch in amazement at cyclists who run red lights. Weave round pedestrians on zebra crossings, and on more than one occasion have witnessed collisions with said pedestrians. Why do we have cycle lanes? Most London cyclists have no regard for them, after all if the road is busy it is by far easier to hog the whole road and force traffic around them. Cycling three abreast whilst looking at your mobile ????

I know there are many cyclists, and many are friends on this great forum of ours. However I really am sick to the back teeth of grumbling cyclists.

The video posted is just a sample of the idiocy of a more than average ( judged by what I witness ) group of Boris' entourage.

Sorry for the rant.
