I'm pretty sure they have specific demands, asking for better inter-city passenger trains. It says in the article the protesters are from the "Restore Passenger Rail climate action group".
I don't know their strategy, but if their intention is to get publicity for the cause then the term "it doesn't matter what they are saying about you, as long as they're talking about you" comes to mind.
It kinda does matter what they're saying about you when you're trying to get public support for a cause though.
It won't, because their demands simply aren't feasible or cost effective.
