Warning: don't click unless you are sure you won't find it disturbing (it's a scooter colliding with a train)

What an absolute idiot! hock:

It looks like a 158, but it's not. IIRC there were some units created for other countries using the basic 158 design but I can't remember where. Anyone know where/when this may have been?

I would advise you to take the URL to this content off, some people may find it disturbing.

I believe by the design of the Train involved, it is an Irish DMU. (see http://paulbigland.fotopic.net/p17628933.html)

Thats the thailand 158's, built the same time as ours

doubt if that is ireland, the bloke has no helmet on, and it's uk and irish law that all motorcyclists wear a lid at all times. It's also a big wheeled scoot, which are pretty rare in England or Ireland.

Also they're wearing clothes which look more indian/eastern than irish, white gowns

Was it a "stunt" or was he drunk, or was he just as complete and utter idiot?? Yeh It is defo. Thailand, in fact they are still (or were) in a livery very similar to our Reggie Rail until recently. I thought there was a Thai "158" in Crewe for a long time, but later discovered it was the remains from the Severn Tunnel crash back in the early 90's.

Just a plain idiot i think

hock: hock: What a idiot hock: hock: Is it real or computerised or something? Or was it a filmer at the location.

If he's stupid enough to collide with a train, I can't really see him rushing out to buy a helmet
