Hide AdPortsmouth magistrates jailed her for 70 days on December 22.
As reported, she appeared at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on December 6 where she was handed a suspended jail term.
During that hearing it emerged she repeatedly put herself in danger by trespassing on train tracks and footbridges - causing huge disruption.
The court heard her actions had a ‘big impact’ on commuters and rail networks across Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey.

Hide AdReynolds, of Belmont Grove, Havant, has been involved in over 50 incidents of trespassing on railways since a care plan was put in place in February this year to try and stamp out the ‘dangerous’ behaviour.
Reynolds, who works as a waitress, was handed a community order prior to the December 6 hearing - but continued. She then carried on after that hearing.
Previously prosecutor Giles Mr Fletcher said police did ‘not want to criminalise her behaviour’, before saying: ‘There is great concern for her safety.’
He added: ‘The financial impact is costing thousands to the railways to keep turning them off and is having a big impact.’

An interim criminal behaviour order bans her from trespassing on railway tracks.
She admitted breaching this by going to Bedhampton on December 15.
