Nuther Poleece occurrence..At springview nick near springs branch sidings (Railway) a lot of thieving was going on with bronze brake fittings being thieved from old carriage stock...me and 1 other laid a plan to nab these thieves in the act. One Sunday morning we boarded a brake van on the sidings...we stoked the fire...set our flasks and butties out and lied in wait for the tea-leaves. Two hours passed, one or two local undesirables were seen in the area but nothing criminal occurred...scoffing our butties we said..give it another hour...Suddenly "Clunk" ..WTF 1 other said.. and in no time the carriages which had not moved for 6 months were chugging towards the northern line...panic ..collect our tranklements ASAP and bail out...it was like a scene from Indiana Jones...travelling now about 20 mph...we jumped...landed like a pair of numpties into brambles and nettles...we got to our feet. 1 other said...don't say **** *** to anybody bout this...we saw the brake van disappearing into the distance with smoke bellowing from the stack.. Priceless .
