Ye Gods, Has the BeeB really sunk to that?
More like the sort of cr*p dished out by the Sun.
What's unsafe about being naked in a cab anyway?

Could 'something' get caught under the TBC? Not very easily but these things happen!

Perhaps the driver was waiting a long time for a signal to clear and thought "I know what I'll do......" or maybe the heat went to his head!
It certainly isn't the actions of a 'normal' person, who defines normal!! I suppose there are things that most people don't do that a minority like to!

That's an old story that for some reason has been dragged up by the press. He was sacked ages ago apparently. He sent the images to a shocked lady who worked in the offices. There have apparently been three simular ones!

Apparantly different drivers did it to each other as they passed. So they might call a driver who was passing and flash to him/her. Then they might take a photo of themselves going at about 125 mph. There's another article here:
MANIAC train drivers have been stripping off at 125mph in a crazy game of “dare”.
Furious bosses called in police after one idiot used his mobile to take a naked photo of himself as his express sped between Sheffield and London’s St Pancras.
He sent the snap to a stunned office girl at rail company Midland Mainline — where shocked staff alerted chiefs. The driver was sacked.
But last night five others were said to have been involved in the stunts — in which they would “flash” colleagues at the controls of oncoming trains.
The antics were branded “madness” by one worker. He raged: “They got up to all sorts of pranks. It’s like playing Russian roulette with passengers’ lives. We’ve been told about six drivers were involved — each trying to go one better than the other.
“They started stripping off in the cab where nobody could see them at a point where they were about to pass another train. Then they were calling the other train and boasting to the other driver, ‘Now watch me’.”
Police launched their probe at the main depot of Midland Mainline, which operates out of Derby. Drivers using No4 shed were quizzed — but no charges were brought.
The train company runs high-speed services across the East Midlands, Yorkshire and between Sheffield and St Pancras.
Last night a spokesman said: “We can confirm that following an internal investigation an employee was dismissed under disciplinary procedures. Safety is, and always will be, our top priority.”
Also, i *think* they're HST drivers, not the trains shown in the BBC pic. Meridians, are they?

I'm sorry but the worst thing is the appaling use of english and the terrible standard of writing, (yeah yeah i know my posts are pretty badly written, but this is a newspaper)
