Billboards to carry trespass plea

Tyler Deacon was killed trying to race a train in the dark

Advertising billboards near a railway line on which a teenager was killed could soon carry posters warning of the dangers of playing on the track.

Tyler Deacon, 15, from Leicester, was hit by a train close on a stretch of track of Gypsy Lane in the city.

Network Rail wants to use a hoarding close to the site to warn other youngsters against trespassing.

Dot Deacon, Tyler's mother, has suggested the posters are placed there to try and prevent more deaths.

A coroner ruled Tyler died by misadventure.

His classmates from Soar Valley College have made a film called "Tyler 4 Ever" aimed at deterring other youngsters from wandering or playing on the tracks.
