British Transport Police officers got more than they bargained for when they responded to reports from a member of the public that a ‘body’ was lying within the boundaries of the railway.
As officers sped to the scene, bracing themselves emotionally for what they might find, little did they know that the ‘body’ that had been reported was, in fact, a nude sunbather.
British Transport Police Essex tweeted to say:
“Yesterday we had a call about a body within the railway boundary.
“Railway workers could only see a pair of feet but reported no signs of life.
“Rushing to the scene, officers found a man in his late 30s enjoying some nude sunbathing.
“Please don’t sunbathe nude on the railway!”.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?
