Fools caught sitting on Tube tracks at Underground station

Reckless Tube passengers were caught putting their lives at risk after they were spotted sitting beyond the yellow line at an Underground station.

Two people were seen waiting for the Tube at Bethnal Green station in east London when they opted for an unusual and dangerous place to perch themselves.

Footage captured on Thursday shows the pair dangling their feet above the tracks before the other passenger jumps on the tracks, leaning on the platform which came up to their armpit.

A TfL spokesperson told Metro: ‘This is a reckless and illegal thing to do. Not only are trespassers disregarding their own safety, but they are also putting others at risk. 

‘The British Transport Police had been made aware of the incident and is currently investigating.’ 

Meanwhile, the wave of Tube strikes has been partially called off after RMT decided to scrap its share of the industrial action.
