The group had taken part in a non-violent protest against climate change at the giant Drax power station near Selby, north Yorkshire, in June last year when they halted a train carrying 1,000 tonnes of coal.

Twenty nine people were convicted in July following a four-day jury trial at Leeds crown court.
Today, at the same court, Judge James Spencer QC, ordered five, who had previous convictions, to do 60 hours unpaid work and three were ordered to pay £1,000 in costs and £500 compensation to Network Rail.
The judge said the loss to the company had been almost £37,000. Twenty one members of the group were given conditional discharges for 12 months.
