A 21-year-old Chorley man who put hundreds of lives at risk by standing in front of an oncoming train could face up to two years behind bars.

Ogden jumped out of the way of the Manchester to Blackpool train at the very last second as it travelled over the Rylands crossing - leading both his friends and the driver to believe he had been hit.

The father-of-one admitted that he had been drinking before the offence, on July 14 this year, and thought the whole thing would be “a bit of a laugh”.

I think he should also have the word “twat” tattooed across his forehead.
