That's a Class 170, probably doing about 70mph, weighs about 133 tons, you're probably looking at about six to eight train lengths (approx 566m, 1669ft) at a real ballpark, pulled out of my backside kinda guess.
But yeah, pedalling around the barrier is absolutely retarded, and were it not for the effect on the driver of the train, I would put forward for Darwins law to take its natural course on such idiots.
