| Comment | A group of neds broke into the drivers cab of a train and stole some explosive detonators. The police were out in force looking for them - helicopters and all.
[I'm not joking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonator_(railway)) \- trains carry explosive detonators to use in an emergency. They're about the size of a Jaffa cake. They're strapped to the track and if a train runs over them, they make a loud banging noise. If a line is closed in an emergency because a train breaks down or a bridge collapses, they're strapped to the track to warn the driver of any train that accidentally ends up on the line. You hear the bang, you hit the emergency brake, radio for help, and don't move until you're told to. |
