You would think it would have been an open-and-shut case for the CPS too. I'm slightly puzzled where she thought she was going - surely she didn't think she could walk all the way from Bristol to Cheltenham? Log in to reply |

My understanding is that trespass is a Civil Offence, nothing to do with CPS. If the person damaged something or endangered a train while trespassing, that would be criminal.  For example if she was in the 4 foot and the train made an emergency brake app. and someone was injured.

Normally trespass is only a civil offence, but trespass on the railway is governed by law. There is a summary of the situation on the CPS web-site.
