Genuinely. They’re people too!! They’re trying to help, and at the end of the day... they are earning to live. It’s so unfair to take your frustrations out on them.
I used to know a Train driver for DB Regio here in Germany who had 9 suicides during his career. His first 8 were pretty „normal“, but after the 9th at his age of 62 he had a mental breakdown. He quit his job, became a gardener and passed away two years later (not because of the suicides, it was something else but I don’t want to share too much details publicly as I‘m still in contact with his son). I‘ve only met him 2-3 times, but he was such an awesome person and trains were the thing in his life he loved the most, and I felt very sad as I heard that he was no longer with us. Shit like this always happens to the good persons on this planet.
It breaks my heart, that poor kid, crying when he realised he wasn't going to die. I really hope he found help, i was in tears watching this. And the poor driver, the trauma of going through that, and he's such a good guy. This episode was really tragic and heart breaking.
Laz Arus that kid is a selfish fucking loser. It would have caused the driver a lifetime of grief and guilt killing a person. That’s the ultimate selfish act having someone else kill you. If you want to die then have the balls to do it yourself. Don’t be a coward and cause someone else a lifetime of guilt
@@XoXoXo-wq4yg It's like what (at least in the US) is called "death by cop"--a suicidal person threatens a cop with a gun or something that looks like a gun, and the cop shoots in self-defense.
how ridiculous is it that people would be willing to attack and even stab each other over football. As SPECTATORS, not even actual players. It makes no sense to me.
Trust me it’s worse up north in Scotland the Celtic rangers rivalry/matches has caused multiple deaths also one a the Celtic managers was sent PARCEL BOMBS in the mail
That driver is such a credit to his company. Young lad would of had his heart explode of current overload shock if it wasnt for his fast action under such physical and mental shock
@@katiejenkinson9521/videos It would not matter at all if it was AC or DC. At that voltage, and with the insane amount of current available, I guarantee it would have vapourized at least his fingers, if not his hands off. That is an ENORMOUS amount of energy we are talking about.
@@AureliusR It's only 630V which is not far off domestic supply and would only cause a few hundred milliamps to pass through his body. Nowhere near enough to cause vaporisation, just a heart attack.
I love that the woman's supervisor called out the woman who swore at her. That's support right there. It may seem like a little thing to some people, but there's nothing more encouraging than a supervisor speaking up for the staff he supervises. That poor driver though! Just coming back after one suicide attempt to be immediately faced with another. I can only try to imagine how shaken up he must have been.
Exactly. If the same thing happens on the buses, not only do you get unpaid time off but you’re expected to fill out all the forms on your own and continue the duty.
While I can appreciate their operational needs to get the train out of the station, I can't believe they had that driver bring the train back to the depot with his hands shaking that badly. Even with a supervisor in the cab it just doesn't seem right.
That's not allowed on national rail. Another driver is used. A driver can be taken off (at his/her request) If he receives a throw back. Signal changed back to danger as they approach. Because obviously they don't know why it's gone back to red.
Ryan me too. The poor driver was shaking. Should of had someone else drive it would be sensible. Even then I thought it was procedure it certainly was on nation rail. Once a train was cancelled at Preston as it was a Glasgow train but had been substituted to use a HST. The driver hadn't done enough times on that route in a HST in the preceeding 6 weeks so although he was trained on whole West Coast line he couldn't do it as it was different traction than usual. We all thought it daft as he always did that route or London returns. So he knew the route but they wouldn't allow him to take the stand in HST over the DVT and loco. That's a while ago. My friend drives Virgin trains mainly Pendilino's but has to do so many Vorgers a month as they drive diffently.
Well it didn't look like they had another driver there to take it. So it was either get him to drive the train back to the depot or leave it in the station and block the whole line up. I know which option sounds more sensible to me!
Poor guy seemed to be in a right state, they didn't mention after, I wonder if he was okay long term. Jackie seemed a lovely woman too, always seemed to have a genuine smile on her face, hopefully dealing with the arseholes didn't crush her.

I used to drive a bus and the one thing I learnt when I was driving is your totally on your own. I've had drunks on the bus, fights brake out and somebody who threw himself in front of the bus at the last second who I hit but luckily didn't kill him. For some reason on busses you get no help what so ever. I even reported an incident to the police when I was pulling into a bus stop on a hot summers day a water balloon thrown by a group of kids came through my open drivers side window hitting me in the side of the head. The response from the police, "what do you want us to do about it". I drive lorries now, I lock myself in the cab and keep the nutters on the outside of the cab.
It's not just Spurs and Arsenal fans, but I cannot understand the personal way in which some fans react to the performance of their rivals. Football, is and always will be a sport, it shouldn't be something that people get insulted about, purely because rivals did better than their own team. It should be enjoyed, not for example have the disgusting situation with Liverpool and Manchester United where chants are sung about tragedies where their rival fans have been killed (Hillsborough chants aimed at Liverpool fans and Munich chants aimed at Manchester United), disgusting!

When I was training to be a London Fireman in 1975, there was a major incident at Moorgate station - the train didn't stop and ploughed full speed into the end of the tunnel. 43 people died 75 injured. The firement had to fight their way through bodies, bits of bodies to reach injured people and temperatures reached 120 F. We only heard about from our instructors who were there. The front two and a half carriages were crushed into half their normal length. I wonder how many firemen, ambulance and police personnel were affected.
As a train driver from Germany, I like the videos about the tube. Same problem, same situations, same passengers...sadly the same suicide problems. With the suicides, not all of them are on purpose...in some cases the people don't mind the danger, walking on tracks etc.. My close calls, were just stupid people with not thinking about the danger, even by only close calls..you start to think about it.

@Navdeep Singh city and liverpool probably gonna dominate for a few more years. Although im not a hardcore football fan, its still painful seeing Man U in such terrible form.
I'd love to work as a customer services officer like Jackie. Every day is different and it looks so much fun. I love London, especially travelling on the tube. So long as I'm not in a rush or a hurry to get somewhere I don't really mind delays.
This one was quite a shock when he had to deal with an incident for a Suicide passenger I felt sorry for him and Jackie tries to deal with a physical situation and dealing with a train stuck on the Piccadilly line. These are the challenges you face you either have the skills to deal with these problems or you don’t.
She probably had to act professional. I doubt tube workers are allowed to hug passengers in those types of situations, but then again I don't know what their official stance is on that. Maybe there's an unwritten rule that you don't.
as bus driver. . i may not help to push a wheel chair user up the ramp, before the person say yes to my offer to help them. i may not touch anyone before i am sure they let me. It is for safety for both parties.
When someone is rude I smile that much bigger. As a disabled person I see how unfriendly cities are and its getting worse. Manners don't cost a thing and I always thank bus drivers etc. Must have been dropped on my head too many times as a kid! I cabt wait to move to the countryside!
Anyone that has to work in an occupation which involves interacting with the general public face to face, I feel sorry for them, it’s not an easy thing meeting people who has no empathy for others, and never think they’re in the wrong!
@@thatzombieplace Fare Evaders can cost TFL lots of money. If one person did it every day for one year, it would not be a lot (£547.5) But if let's say 100 people did that, it would cost TFL: £54,750. It might not be that much since they're TFL, but that still costs them money. And more than 100 people would evade fares for a year (or for however) So no-one told staff someone evaded a fare, than TFL could lose out on money, money buys better trains and maintain them, also paying their staff.
I’ve recently witnessed my 2nd one under and I’m only 14yrs old I live in Switzerland and I was sat In a regional train that was going to leave 5 minutes later, I was looking out the window and as the intercity train came in this old man but his bag down on the platform and slowly sort of limped to the edge, he hesitated for an instant and I turned my head away I look back and then there’s only a train and no old man. I was shaky panicky and what really struck me was seeing ambulance and police men running along the plateforme. I’m doing much better now though after seeing a therapist
Jackie is just the sweetest little thing. I hope she found a way to make the job manageable, to enjoy it and bring a bit of her sunny disposition to it. It’s unthinkable to me that anyone would call her a cow! Such disrespect.
I feel so bad for that driver. I have been in his situation at our public transit system while operating trains. So have two other family members. I feel for this man. It’s a horrible feeling. What surprised me is that he is still operating the train. Here a supervisor would take the train back to where it needs to go. Supervisors are required to keep their operating skills current with a set number of hours (4-5) in service, per month. If a driver/operator has an incident like this, he or she might not be fit for service, with or without passengers.
The event in which the driver had to stop for a suicidal teenager reminded me a time when my father told me he was flying a plane (in the US Army Air Corps back in the 1940s), when his plane lost all its oil but he managed to land it safely--and the first thing afterward was that he was ordered to go immediately to another plane and fly it. My father said that the idea was to get the pilot flying again before he had time to comprehend how dangerous a situation was that he had just survived. However, there is probably no way for any of these drivers to get back into driving a train immediately, even if some are willing to do so. If they are shaken up severely enough, some never drive again, as the one man said. I'm sure there is time spent investigating the event and other delays that force the driver to relieve and concentrate on what has just happened, making it impossible to "carry on" without interruption.
Yes, some highly strung people need a break for a while, but I try not to be so naive to think that people AREN'T looking for an early retirement at full pay. It happens everywhere. That ptsd thing is abused by the majority of claimants. It's a ticket out. :-)
19:40 ngl I’ve purposely done this when I was younger it was funny to me back then to stand as close as possible to the edge and stare into the eyes of the driver. Won’t be doing that again
It is only sport! Not life and death. Those football huligans are ridiculus!. I love icehockey but I do not get nuts if they loose. Because in the end it is only a game and there is a next year. Shake my head!.
Yeah. Hopefully the tube and MTA get barrier doors like in Japan(at platforms, there are doors that will open when the train is in the right spot or in an emergency).
Fancy making a driver take a train further down the track after a very close call he should have been relieved of his duties and shown more compassion and respect
Been off driving for too long and therefore not qualified. Also there is so much track that he has not necessarily learned ´the road´ i.e.learned the track layout and signalling on that stretch of line.
While I feel for the people who are suffering with depression etc, its traumatic for the train drivers.I know this as my late brother was a train driver ,all be it overground ,but it happened to him and more than once .To witness his upset and change in his demeanour was awful.Some drivers never get over it.
Jackie looked so energetic and young when she started. And after a month she got wrinkles and bags under her eyes. And she seemed so sweet. I hope she settled into her job or found another job with friendlier people.
I hate how suicidal people put random people into this situation. Someone jumped in front of a car on the motorway some cars prior my sister. She hasn’t seen the accident but a shoe was under her car while the rescue and police invested the scene. It was last week and she is still shakeny
Bless the unions! Driver deals with a suicide attempt and the manager is worried about backing up production because he is “short handed”! I wonder why no one wants to work for you!
ok first, yes its tragic but at the end of the day he was in a busy stretch of line, The Lower Circle Section of the Circle Line between Tower Hill and Gloucster Road via Victoria is really busy with another line the District on there, If he where to stop the entire line, during what looks like the PM Rush, then it would chaos, The best action was too empty the train and take it empty to Hammersmith Depot. If a worker did do suicide in a production plant, then yes it would good to stop for the day but not on one of the buisest and the oldest transit systems in the world. Also 28,000 people work for Transport for London btw
I won't condemn people who commit suicide as you don't know what has happened in their lives to push them to it. But it has repercussions like a ripple effect like for this guy. It must be horrible seeing that person's last seconds everytime you close your eyes.
I'm sure it's down to cost, but I was surprised, when I returned to the UK for a visit a few years ago, that they don't have barriers of some kind. The metro in Shanghai (and China generally) has no character at all, unlike the Tube, but every station has glass partitions/doors all the way down the station, in every station. Too many crazies around these days to even consider standing near the edge of the platform in a busy Tube station.
I was sexually assaulted on the Metro in Paris 3 years ago. The week before it happened a black guy was hurled off a train in London after a Chelsea match. The world went into uproar saying it was a race attack. The guy that assaulted me was black. I just kept thinking it'd be labelled a race attack if I pushed him out at the next station. He kept looking back at me as if I should have enjoyed it. I'm stronger now. I'd push him off now and deal with the consequences.
I wonder how that young suicidal boy did after. Because of this driver,(poor soul, so shaken up!) the kid survived. How is he doing now. Would he have learned to enjoy life? If he did, is he grateful towards the swift action taking driver? That would be some follow-up tv!
steven hike mate I can understand you may feel like the world is working around your nuts but definitely the world doesn’t need to have animals like you. I mean even animals have better decency. We still need to know how the kid is doing because that’s what being caring is. By the way you can be hateful I can play the game better lol
I dont blame them. Even if not for the guy jumping in front of the train or whatever. I could easily have gotten PTSD from retail or any sort of public job. People are insane.
I’ve spent 23 years working in the retail field. I know a thing or two about rude people. One of my fellow TH-camrs was surprised that I haven’t jumped off a building yet! LOL!!
16:10 That's why they need to have platform doors. Imagine if elevator shafts didn't have doors, just the cab itself, no one would think that's sensible, but with the underground/metro people think it's just fine for the train to have doors and the platform be open...
Idea: Have a glass wall, with doors that open only when the train is there, so you cant jump off - some airports have this for the trains that run in them.
This is already in place in a few countries, but hideously expensive. The only way to finance them is through higher ticket prices or government funding, both would add cost/tax for the customer which they don't want to pay.
Yeah, as stated by Toryelle, there are a few on select Tube stations, but as Ennar said, it's expensive, and it doesn't solve the problem of people actually getting on open track away from platforms.
Alan the train driver, just an absolute genuine person. I hope he mentally recovers from these acts. Sad for both victims.
He's likely retired by now, this was over 20 years ago. the cops still had titty helmets.

This one was quite a shock when he had to deal with an incident for a Suicide passenger I felt sorry for him and Jackie tries to deal with a physical situation and dealing with a train stuck on the Piccadilly line. These are the challenges you face you either have the skills to deal with these problems or you don’t.
18:34 "do you want some help"
y is he going with his hands up lol.. :))) lollol

9:03 I love this interaction so much. A superior instantly backing down and acknowledging his mistake when it’s pointed out
Once again, the TH-cam recommendations have brought us together... :)
Poor guy. I just want to give him a hug
18:36 I love how the guy just stands there as if he wants a hug and the lady just says “Do you want some help?”
She probably had to act professional. I doubt tube workers are allowed to hug passengers in those types of situations, but then again I don't know what their official stance is on that. Maybe there's an unwritten rule that you don't.
as bus driver. . i may not help to push a wheel chair user up the ramp, before the person say yes to my offer to help them. i may not touch anyone before i am sure they let me. It is for safety for both parties.
When someone is rude I smile that much bigger. As a disabled person I see how unfriendly cities are and its getting worse. Manners don't cost a thing and I always thank bus drivers etc. Must have been dropped on my head too many times as a kid! I cabt wait to move to the countryside!
Sophie Cat I feel the same way. I just wanna be isolated from the bad crowd and live in the beautiful fields of Wales.
Aww Jackie is sweet. I wish more were like her,
Anyone that has to work in an occupation which involves interacting with the general public face to face, I feel sorry for them, it’s not an easy thing meeting people who has no empathy for others, and never think they’re in the wrong!

@@thatzombieplace Fare Evaders can cost TFL lots of money. If one person did it every day for one year, it would not be a lot (£547.5) But if let's say 100 people did that, it would cost TFL: £54,750.
It might not be that much since they're TFL, but that still costs them money. And more than 100 people would evade fares for a year (or for however) So no-one told staff someone evaded a fare, than TFL could lose out on money, money buys better trains and maintain them, also paying their staff.

I’ve recently witnessed my 2nd one under and I’m only 14yrs old I live in Switzerland and I was sat In a regional train that was going to leave 5 minutes later, I was looking out the window and as the intercity train came in this old man but his bag down on the platform and slowly sort of limped to the edge, he hesitated for an instant and I turned my head away I look back and then there’s only a train and no old man. I was shaky panicky and what really struck me was seeing ambulance and police men running along the plateforme. I’m doing much better now though after seeing a therapist
glad to hear you're feeling better, nobody should ever have to go through this ❤
Thank you Jackie for sharing those moments. Good job.
Jackie is just the sweetest little thing. I hope she found a way to make the job manageable, to enjoy it and bring a bit of her sunny disposition to it. It’s unthinkable to me that anyone would call her a cow! Such disrespect.
I feel like I spotted her around a year ago driving on the District... Just smiled at each other, she seems really nice from this video 🙂
I wouldn’t have had him drive the train back to the depot even with the supervisor in the car.
No neither would I, it wouldn't happen these days
I feel so bad for that driver. I have been in his situation at our public transit system while operating trains. So have two other family members. I feel for this man. It’s a horrible feeling. What surprised me is that he is still operating the train. Here a supervisor would take the train back to where it needs to go. Supervisors are required to keep their operating skills current with a set number of hours (4-5) in service, per month. If a driver/operator has an incident like this, he or she might not be fit for service, with or without passengers.
The event in which the driver had to stop for a suicidal teenager reminded me a time when my father told me he was flying a plane (in the US Army Air Corps back in the 1940s), when his plane lost all its oil but he managed to land it safely--and the first thing afterward was that he was ordered to go immediately to another plane and fly it. My father said that the idea was to get the pilot flying again before he had time to comprehend how dangerous a situation was that he had just survived. However, there is probably no way for any of these drivers to get back into driving a train immediately, even if some are willing to do so. If they are shaken up severely enough, some never drive again, as the one man said. I'm sure there is time spent investigating the event and other delays that force the driver to relieve and concentrate on what has just happened, making it impossible to "carry on" without interruption.
Yes, some highly strung people need a break for a while, but I try not to be so naive to think that people AREN'T looking for an early retirement at full pay. It happens everywhere. That ptsd thing is abused by the majority of claimants. It's a ticket out. :-)
19:40 ngl I’ve purposely done this when I was younger it was funny to me back then to stand as close as possible to the edge and stare into the eyes of the driver. Won’t be doing that again
When I was younger I was always terrified and just stood as far back as I could lol

Learn to spell
Poor Alan 💔 that's has got to mess with your head for awhile. God bless the folks every where that do this for a living
Yeah. Hopefully the tube and MTA get barrier doors like in Japan(at platforms, there are doors that will open when the train is in the right spot or in an emergency).
I feel so helpless for this bloke. He seems like such a great guy!
Fancy making a driver take a train further down the track after a very close call he should have been relieved of his duties and shown more compassion and respect
It happens at least once a day here and protocol is to move the train off the track and the drivers are given a lot of help.
13:27 2 ladies went through the luggage area and did not have a ticket
And for all you know they could have been employees or police women.
Maybe they had tickets but ducked under the barrier due to crowding and fearing they would miss their train?
bet your fun at parties
@@activejt bet you've been to parties
Jackie is so wholesome
Why didnt the train supervisor take over driving the train when the driver was in shock.
Been off driving for too long and therefore not qualified. Also there is so much track that he has not necessarily learned ´the road´ i.e.learned the track layout and signalling on that stretch of line.
I like how the S Stock is in the Thumbnail yet it is 2002 and It is not here until 2010
Dang I live in East London born in 2008 but I didn't know summer 2002 was such a INSANE time for the Tube
Alan seems so kind :( ❤️
While I feel for the people who are suffering with depression etc, its traumatic for the train drivers.I know this as my late brother was a train driver ,all be it overground ,but it happened to him and more than once .To witness his upset and change in his demeanour was awful.Some drivers never get over it.
its how life is my friend get over it and dont quit your job just because some idiot jumped in front of your train or bus
My dad used to work on the tube, and had to cope with "one under" as they used to say, he ended up taking early retirement
We need more Jackies in this world!
Oh, I just love the sounds of the tube. So relaxing. At the moment, I can't travel to London, but this video brings back memories :-)
Jackie looked so energetic and young when she started. And after a month she got wrinkles and bags under her eyes. And she seemed so sweet. I hope she settled into her job or found another job with friendlier people.
As a train driver for CS its worse because it takes so long to stop it's so grusum
As gruesome as your appalling spelling?
I hate how suicidal people put random people into this situation. Someone jumped in front of a car on the motorway some cars prior my sister. She hasn’t seen the accident but a shoe was under her car while the rescue and police invested the scene. It was last week and she is still shakeny
I suppose its hard to care about other peoples lives if you dont even care about your own
There is always someone that makes this face like this blonde woman at 3:11.
U can't come in here with 2 🐮

I died
😂🤣😂
@Sir Royston "Read the sign"
*Points to sign "one cow per passenger"*
Why the fuck is that so funny?
Sounds like a anxiety dream! 🤣🤔
That’s funny
Everyone talking about the driver and yes it's sad but those employees were great at their job trying to help people get home
We need platform screen doors on all stations.
12:13 that fact is definitely true now.
driving in the dark in a tunnel ,every day must take its toll on their mental health....couldn't do it......
Most routes have some part outside tunnels as well.
countteddy 45% of the London underground network is underground. So more is Overground.
The trains probably have lights.
Alex Jamieson. Lights? Wow! London IS the city of the future.

Bless the unions! Driver deals with a suicide attempt and the manager is worried about backing up production because he is “short handed”!
I wonder why no one wants to work for you!
ok first, yes its tragic but at the end of the day he was in a busy stretch of line, The Lower Circle Section of the Circle Line between Tower Hill and Gloucster Road via Victoria is really busy with another line the District on there, If he where to stop the entire line, during what looks like the PM Rush, then it would chaos, The best action was too empty the train and take it empty to Hammersmith Depot. If a worker did do suicide in a production plant, then yes it would good to stop for the day but not on one of the buisest and the oldest transit systems in the world. Also 28,000 people work for Transport for London btw
I Feel very Bad for Him :( it is so Sad to see someone Suffer from this
I won't condemn people who commit suicide as you don't know what has happened in their lives to push them to it. But it has repercussions like a ripple effect like for this guy. It must be horrible seeing that person's last seconds everytime you close your eyes.
Sounds like Jackie had a few too many wines the night before work 😂😂😂👏👏👏
This is London! Keep Calm and Carry On!
Watching this in 2020 makes it seem like its a whole different world.
Why I am 600% friendly with ppl including train drivers poor dude he was only trying to being ppl to their destination
Gosh I feel bad for the driver, dealing with suicide. So sad.
I'm sure it's down to cost, but I was surprised, when I returned to the UK for a visit a few years ago, that they don't have barriers of some kind. The metro in Shanghai (and China generally) has no character at all, unlike the Tube, but every station has glass partitions/doors all the way down the station, in every station. Too many crazies around these days to even consider standing near the edge of the platform in a busy Tube station.
Bizarre watching this during the pandemic. Feels so strange that people used to stand shoulder to shoulder with complete strangers 2:30
Ik I watch old videos and I'm like not abiding by social distancing and then I realise it was posted in 2012
Back to this now, go on the tube in rush hour now and it’s like this again
17:00 red eye guy in reflection
I was sexually assaulted on the Metro in Paris 3 years ago. The week before it happened a black guy was hurled off a train in London after a Chelsea match. The world went into uproar saying it was a race attack. The guy that assaulted me was black. I just kept thinking it'd be labelled a race attack if I pushed him out at the next station. He kept looking back at me as if I should have enjoyed it. I'm stronger now. I'd push him off now and deal with the consequences.
It probably was a race attack with the Chelsea supporters, Paris isn't in London so you're not making any sense
There is a difference between a race attack and defending yourself
Great insight to what goes on when you're not there.
Just watched a 45 minute documentary about the haunting of London's underground stations
The narrator is probably right... the London underground is probably the oldest. New York subway started service in 1904.
I wonder how that young suicidal boy did after. Because of this driver,(poor soul, so shaken up!) the kid survived. How is he doing now. Would he have learned to enjoy life? If he did, is he grateful towards the swift action taking driver? That would be some follow-up tv!
Who gives a toss about the kid
@@stevenhike8575 the poor driver probably you toss pot
The driver is piss weak. Grow a set and get over it@@tnhl77
steven hike mate I can understand you may feel like the world is working around your nuts but definitely the world doesn’t need to have animals like you. I mean even animals have better decency. We still need to know how the kid is doing because that’s what being caring is.
By the way you can be hateful I can play the game better lol
@@frankmurray1549 Don't feed the trolls, children.
What's the big deal with missing a train that comes every 3 minutes. Try the Cornwall trains when they cancel and you're waiting an hour.
2:24 the most british phrase to ever be heard
I dont blame them. Even if not for the guy jumping in front of the train or whatever. I could easily have gotten PTSD from retail or any sort of public job. People are insane.
I’ve spent 23 years working in the retail field. I know a thing or two about rude people. One of my fellow TH-camrs was surprised that I haven’t jumped off a building yet! LOL!!

@@maximwalker2565 quite mistaken
@Charlie Robertson true but visited enough to know
16:10 That's why they need to have platform doors. Imagine if elevator shafts didn't have doors, just the cab itself, no one would think that's sensible, but with the underground/metro people think it's just fine for the train to have doors and the platform be open...
Modern stations have platform doors and renovated stations get them added.
My fave part is at 14:11 it's so funny the lady says something bad lol😅
It'd be an Honour to spend a day with ERU, i know It'd be a shock to a system but i am prepared for multiple factory resets
Idea: Have a glass wall, with doors that open only when the train is there, so you cant jump off - some airports have this for the trains that run in them.
This is already in place in a few countries, but hideously expensive. The only way to finance them is through higher ticket prices or government funding, both would add cost/tax for the customer which they don't want to pay.
Ennar i have seen them on the tube before but I have never seen them at over crowded stations
Yeah, as stated by Toryelle, there are a few on select Tube stations, but as Ennar said, it's expensive, and it doesn't solve the problem of people actually getting on open track away from platforms.
Those doors are installed in all new tube stations so you can expect them to be installed whenever a station gets renovated or built.
@@Progan666 cool. yeah that would reduce the problem. solving it is harder.
Amazing people(the staff) with a nice sense of humour.
