“These dramatic images capture the scene as a woman casually strolls on to main line rail tracks on her way home from shopping. She seemed oblivious to the potential dangers of walking along the line where high-speed trains regularly pass. Fortunately for the unidentified 38-year-old, the alarm was raised and services halted. One of those trains held up had stopped near a bridge when its driver spotted the woman. He eased his train forward to meet her and then got down from his cabin, helping her aboard before giving her a lift to nearby Bristol Parkway. The bizarre scenes were captured by trainspotter John Hobbs as he waited on a bridge to photograph a special service due to arrive from Birmingham.” w/ photos
