    This is the height of stupidity putting lives at risk.

    "A sit-in by nurses on Parisian train tracks ended in clashes between protesters and police. Rail traffic between Paris and western France was brought to a grinding halt by several hundred specialised nurses staging protest on the tracks, pressing claims for a greater recognition of their work. Police forcibly removed the demonstrators but trains were delayed by around 90 minutes".

    Its a pty SNCF didn't operate 3rd rail. :p
