Reuters QuickCut: Railyway nap

December 15, 2006

A drunk Briton who caused travel chaos after passing out with his head on a railway line faces a jail sentence. Former company director Kevin Craswell, 48, was heard snoring as he lay sprawled across the tracks with his feet just inches from the live rail. Staff were forced to switch off the power to the line, near Epsom, in Surrey, causing delays for thousands of people on four routes. He was sentenced to community service today on Friday (December 15) after admitting obstructing the railway by neglect. Reuters QuickCut is a video snapshot of the most compelling images from around the world.
