Whilst death may have ended up being a very harsh penalty for them they really didnt care about anyone else did they?
Did they think that all the rail users have to pay to have it removed, did they think that rail workers doing the cleaning would have to wait until the leccy was off or take a chance whist trains were around? (and yes some have to I have seen it), did they think about how commuters would have been impacted even if they were just seen near the tracks?
No they didnt or didnt care. There are warning signs everywhere and anyone that doesnt realise, from a very early age, that the big lump of steel hurtling towards you is deadly perhaps is never gogin to be long for this world?
As usual it will be the innocent ones left behind that will have to pick up the pieces, Police, ambulance and relatives.
Seems many on here are only too quick to bash a poster for words but cant bring themselves to condemn a criminal act.

SP: that’s all in your head
Kromo: I’ll take you word for it, it was widely celebrated ion AB.
I’m as sad for these youngsters as anyone, I am sad for their upbringing, I’m sad that it’s anyone’s fault but their own, I’m sad at what our society has become, these are its latest victims.
If anyone should be ashamed it should be the last generation of right on liberals that have presided over a breakdown of law and order.

// 3 strikes and you are taken off. //
that's a myth Baza. practically everything to do with the movement of trains is driven by HAZID and risk assessment. staff welfare is no different. it may be that one incident is enough to see off a driver's career. or, a driver who is unlucky enough to have had 3 incidents or more is still driving.

"Wait a minute...is someone really happy that graffiti artists are dead?"
I don't celebrate their deaths but, assuming they are "taggers", they are not "artists" - graffiti or otherwise. They are vandals, plain and simple. The results of their work are plain to see on almost any railway journey and I have seen extreme examples where trains have been left all but unusable through being almost covered with "art". So let's not label them with something they are not. The cost of rectification runs into tens of thousands of pounds.
This really is an example of Darwin's theory at work. Anybody stupid enough to take to a live and busy railway track (and a third rail electrified one at that) to commit vandalism is two sandwiches short of a picnic.

//I suspect that the consensus of opinion here will be that everyone is to blame for this tragedy apart from the three young vandals who entered a place of great danger to pursue their illegal activities and paid the ultimate price as a result.//
I don't think anyone is saying that they were not the author of their deaths - if that is what happened - i.e . they went unto the track to do graffiti
The question is - did they deserve to die , because of that ?

There’s a great YouTube clip of some idiots mucking about on a train line - it was out about two years ago...one of them gets a kick in the face by a train driver.
There’s an appropriateness to that.
There’s no appropriateness between tagging/graffitti and being run over by a train.
What would be appropriate would be if the vandals (if that’s what they were), were using paint spray that exploded whilst they were using them, covering them with blue paint, which they couldn’t remove for a number of weeks.
Death is not an appropriate resolution to vandalism.
