Tomatoes found growing in human sewage on a railway line in Essex
A rail union has attacked train companies after 'disgusting' pictures emerged showing tomatoes growing in human excrement on a commuter line in Essex.

The images were captured by a rail worker at Rochford on the Liverpool Street to Southend line.
The RMT has called on the government to ban train companies from using old carriages which release toilet sewage on to the track.

The union claims the practice, which dates from the early days of rail travel, creates a serious hazard for track maintenance workers.
Pretty amazing how they've grown there of all places and grown well, somebody obviously had tomatoes for tea. It always amazes me how plants will grow amazingly well in the most random places you'd never think they could grow, yet if you plant them somewhere that appears perfect they'll wither or just won't grow in the first place: I gave up planting foxgloves which grow in my walls and between cracks in the patio every spring yet when I planted them they'd fail. Often with nature if you leave it be then it'll do better alone than it does with human interference.
As for the RMT...... another prime lesson in the stupidity of Unions.
Thoughts?
