Kingston train track trespasser gets conditional discharge

A rush-hour trespasser on the tracks at Kingston station has been given a conditional discharge. The 17-year-old from Battersea was spotted crossing from platform two to platform three with a friend at 6.15pm on February 4, Kingston Magistrates’ Court heard.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted the offence. But because he had appeared in another court the day before and been sentenced to a six-month supervision order with a youth offending team for an assault and theft, he was given a conditional discharge.
