See it, say it, sorted. As a railway worker you did the right thing. If only others did the same. And also kudos to the Driver to for thanking you and taking it further.
Had this been another possible 7/7 situation, this man would be a hero and prevent such a thing, this is exactly what to do in this situation of finding an unattended item and I feel safe when I know there are people brave enough to whistleblow when there’s something suspicious. Bystander behaviour can be dangerous! If this was a real situation and he did nothing, he and everyone else in that train would be in danger. Thank you! This is useful for me as well to keep note on what to do if I need to use the alarm.
A close relative of mine was killed in 2004 in the Madrid train bombings, and it was done through an unattended bag with dynamite inside it. These things happen, sometimes when you least expect it, and they wreck entire lives. You did the right thing by taking it seriously
Definitely the right thing to do here. Any unattended bag, anywhere, should be treated as a "suspicious item." Last time I saw an unattended bag on a train in my city, I didn't touch it, then sent a text to Transit Police describing the bag, when I saw it, which carriage I saw it in and where, and which way it's headed. Our trains are fully automated so there isn't always someone at the ready but additionally you can also speak to someone in the control room via two-way intercom or press the silent alarm and have the closest attendant meet the train at an upcoming station. But yeah, number one rule about finding an unattended bag in public: _Don't touch it!_ You don't know what could be in it.
Considering how advanced those disguised bombs can be, while I was a LEO, we were taught about bags that had pressure/proximity sensors installed to them in case someone would wanna tamper with the mechanism to defuse it
I would much rather have an alarm pulled on my train 10 times a week for a false alarm regarding unattended bags than no one alerting me or the driver and the unthinkable happen. 101% right call. No good rail worker will tell you off for being our extra eyes and ears!
@@Nooticus Procedures all rail staff are trained in is used prior to making delay costing decisions. Plus, having 2 members of staff, being the driver and myself onboard, means I can usually have the alarm reset before we even get to the next stop and investigate and go from there
Just to add: it's also worth remembering that if you spot something suss between stops, advice is to wait for the next doors-open before pulling the lever. That's the official advice and the trains obvs: so you and everyone else can get out safely and fast. Even if it really was a bomb: you are in more trouble if you stop the train than if you try for the next station. Same advice with fellow passenger taken ill: they will get help faster at a station. Only time to pull handle between stops is if there is an immediate danger to life that is made worse by the train moving. Example passenger has hand stock in closing doors but train moves off anyway dragging them along platform. (Not a brilliant example because the system should spot trapped limbs)
Passenger Emergency Alarms on automatic trains will not stop the train. Will only stop train on picc& Bakerloo. Pulling the alarm and telling the driver lets the driver call for assistance in advance so when the train arrives the staff will be there faster
Don't understand why people dislike that this happened, I don't approve of the worker just taking the bag because better safe than sorry but are people really gonna ignore what happened in 2006 or as recently as 2018. Props to you and TfL
Unaccompanied Bag, absolutely the Right Decision. I’d just have moved further away and possibly Stood Behind Something Solid. Thank you for Caring enough.
thanks for pulling the alarm to call police. even if nothing dangerous was in the backpack, the police often will call the owner of lost items and let them pick it up at the police station. I had a similar event happen when I misplaced a locked briefcase with $10,000+ of my store's inventory of trading cards & was glad to be contacted by police to pick it up at their lost item room.
Tbh even though there is a bag on the train it must be checked VERY carefully. Some people just take no notice. And you never know what’s inside… But you did a good job and thank you for doing the right thing!
You definitely made the right decision here, well done! Most likely in these situations it’s just a case of people forgetting their belongings but you never know. It’s best to assume the worst and report it as suspicious baggage just in case there just in case there was something like a bomb in it.
for Americans curious why British and more specifically Londoners are extra cautious about abandoned bags is because of terrorist attacks that happened in the early 2000s a few buses and a train were targeted by a terrorist organisation and they left bags with explosives behind that of course detonated and caused injuries and death, If 9/11 involved the subway system in New York I'm sure you'd act the same way
In 99,9999% of the cases there is nothing wrong with the bag and was it just a forgotten item. But you'd better be safe than sorry, there is always a chance it was left on purpose and might do a lot of harm to people in the carriage. So very well done, please do it again when you find a bag, package, etc..
Delaying let's say two hundred people by two minutes, let's say, times 99.9999% vs. bomb kills let's say three people with another 40 years left times 0.0001% chance converts to cost to society of 6 hours vs 4.4 days. Point being, probably add about another 9 to that even doing just a pure inhumane mathematical calculation. Add another 9 in case you're assuming a 7/7 death toll (and probably another 9 accounting for injuries). Add another 9 since this train was basically empty. So yeah, could make an argument for 99.99999999% of cases should you report this if you have no information to the contrary, and given it was there when he got in there was no other information.
It's good of seeing the person doing the right thing. Normally this doesn't happen to me but if there was a suspicious item in the train I would be in. I will report it.
Once as a young child I was on the way to my primary school and left my backpack there by accident, there was nothing really important in there (except a book I enjoyed) but I eventually got a replacement and I hope I didn't cause as much of a fuss as this😅
Where I'm from, every bus and train has signs that say "Vigilance saves lives". This was the right thing to do, I'm more surprised that the train staff took the bag them selves instead of calling the police to handle it.
@@Mongchong_123 Yeah Waited for the train to comeback to get my bag I knew exactly where i had left it on the train so when the train come back I was like some one nick my bag thank very bloody much you muppet.
For those of you saying it wasn’t a big enough deal to pull the alarm, this is where you’re wrong. Because anyone could’ve left anything in the bag, it could’ve been a bomb or something. You just never know, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.
you know he did the right thing when someone left a bag unattended on the Jubilee Line at Dollis Hill Station and the driver comes over and also the staff at Dollis hill station to pick up the unattended bag so well done you did the right thing 👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
I don't know why that staff would just remove the bag without bringing in BTP officers to assess the threat first, even an innocent looking item could be a bomb.
They knew that a passenger had accidentally left their bag on a train and was looking for it, and the bag matched the description given, so they were satisfied that it was not a threat. If they weren't already aware of the lost bag, they might have treated it differently.
@@Andronk they are trained to identy the basics at least so if the staff are suspicious then they would start the process of of evacuating the train and the platform or the whole station while they wait for police however if they the staff are not suspicious about the bag they they will likley contact btp to double check but they will likely move the bag to a staff area so they can get the train moving again they are trained to makes the service as safe as possible while causing as little disruption as possible
People forgetting their bags must happen at some frequency so they seem to have become a little complacent about it. A little troubling considering the worst case could have been a pressure/motion activated IED etc. I thought they would have cleared the train and platform and called the police.
@@HellHunter00 I suspect that doesn't happen because despite the sound logic, it would paralyse the network. 1 passenger alarm shuts down most of the line until it's resolved because one train can't pass another. A level of risk is accepted for the sake of that practicality, and I guess it seems to be OK so far (I haven't ever heard of a suspicious bag being reported and then poohpoohed, only to turn out to be an IED (and if they were shutting down the whole line for ages for every suspicious bag, attackers wouldn't need to bother with explosives at all to paralyse the city).
I work at an airport we are trained too keep an eye out for unattended luggage and what to do if we come across any that training sticks with me everywhere I go now in the current climate you can't be too careful
@@Mongchong_123 exactly… this isn’t Heathrow airport where security is tight… we must never forget tube stations can be easy targets… ie Tokyo subway attack to amongst others…
In New York City Subway, we have a emergency brake and a emergency intercom if someone left somethin’ behind, the T/O or Conductor come to pick it up and they prolly take it to the SLAF (subway lost and found)
If you're lucky that's all that happens but mostly likely the storm troopers show up and one or more people get shot dead cuz 'MURICA!!!!!, 9/11!!!!!!, GUNS!!!!!, NAZIs!!!!!, etc.
Pulling the alarm - yes Picking the bag up - perhaps no Given the state of the country, those invading it with terrorist motives and previous events that London has suffered….. you cannot be certain no matter how innocuous it looks.
One I was on a bus and there was a kids bag left unattended. I went to the driver and said “theres a unattended bag in the back”. The driver told me to bring it! I said that i’m not touching the bag. And some african woman said “its a kids bag!!” And she took it to the front. Just because it’s a kids bag, doesn’t mean it can’t be dangerous. A terrorist could have picked that kind of bag on purpose so it doesn’t look suspicious.
When I was 3 apparently I pulled the alarm and my mum had to speak to the driver and say that her toddler son had pulled the alarm in front of angry commuters
For the people who say "why pull the handle?" or "why not just chuck the bag off the train at the next station?": You can never know with things like this, especially in a bustling capital city like London. The British Transport Police (a special police force which work on Britain's railways sorting issues like abandoned and suspicious bags, trespassers and troublesome passengers) say that should you see something out of the ordinary, you should report it; "See it, Say it, Sorted". Definitely the right thing to do here, there could be anything in that bag. Stay safe
No, never touch anything left unattended, especially, a bag of any kind. Don't go chucking them off trains either. There might well be people going to get on or off the trains and if that bag was a real bomb... bang! You've just taken out anybody in range of an explosion.
I've only ever pulled the emergency alarm once; one of the interconnecting doors between the carriages wasn't shut properly and was flapping open. I tried to close the door myself, but it didn't want to latch shut. Someone could easily have fallen out!
Thankfully I've never been in this situation but in the 1970s one of my brothers left his school bag under the stairs of a Routemaster bus ... the police were called and conducted a controlled explosion 'just in case' it was a viable device. This was an era when bomb events and incendary devices placed in the pockets of clothing in retail shops were a serious menace to daily life.
I was the driver…. The passenger made the right decision!
Cheers mate!
will the passenger alarm make same sound in the drivers cab?
I don't think ur meant to pull the alarm for something like that
@@Jackary1232 so how else you’re going to alert the driver?? By the time I ran to the front of the train it would have left the station…
@@Mongchong_123 true but u can just remove the bag and press the emergency button at the help point on the platform if

This was the right thing to do, I'm more surprised that the train staff took the bag them selves instead of calling the police to handle it.
It's always better to be safe than sorry. 👍
Yes my friend! 😀
@@Mongchong_123 Yeah Waited for the train to comeback to get my bag I knew exactly where i had left it on the train so when the train come back I was like some one nick my bag thank very bloody much you muppet.
So much for the terrorism awareness and all the bullocks to just walk away with a bomb in a backpack just like that.
The alarm sound is like a censored bad words sound.
Spot on. No panic or drama. Just good thinking.
Even though the event happened years ago,The bag could very well still be a bomb.
For those of you saying it wasn’t a big enough deal to pull the alarm, this is where you’re wrong. Because anyone could’ve left anything in the bag, it could’ve been a bomb or something. You just never know, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.
If you see something, say something. Definitely the right decision.
The alarm is like a test card tone
Here in Russia they have an intercom system in every car to tell the driver exactly what's going on. Much more convenient.
At least you made the right decision. You never know what could've been inside that bag
Thank you
Well now we know why the trains run late 😂😂
Thanks for sharing on what to do in case of emergency.
Nice one avoiding the bystander effect 👍
you know he did the right thing when someone left a bag unattended on the Jubilee Line at Dollis Hill Station and the driver comes over and also the staff at Dollis hill station to pick up the unattended bag so well done you did the right thing 👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
Thank you very much 😀😀
No Problem
bag be like: no no dont report me pls
human: idc *pulls alarm*
bag: NOOOOOOOOO
Haha 😂
This is the first time ive seen someone not hesitate
when you think about it, this is a good decision. you may never know if someone has left their bag or if it's something else
I don't know why that staff would just remove the bag without bringing in BTP officers to assess the threat first, even an innocent looking item could be a bomb.
They knew that a passenger had accidentally left their bag on a train and was looking for it, and the bag matched the description given, so they were satisfied that it was not a threat. If they weren't already aware of the lost bag, they might have treated it differently.
@@Andronk they are trained to identy the basics at least so if the staff are suspicious then they would start the process of of evacuating the train and the platform or the whole station while they wait for police however if they the staff are not suspicious about the bag they they will likley contact btp to double check but they will likely move the bag to a staff area so they can get the train moving again they are trained to makes the service as safe as possible while causing as little disruption as possible
I never knew lost property was something you could pull the emergency alarm for
Actually I thought this was just a way to know that the alarm works, but then I realised why this was actually a big deal.
I've never seen a London underground with an empty monorail. Looks like heaven for real.
See it, Say it, Sorted 👍
2005 is a reminder to take things like this seriously.
You did the right thing, but I'm amazed at how relaxed the staff were about it.
People forgetting their bags must happen at some frequency so they seem to have become a little complacent about it. A little troubling considering the worst case could have been a pressure/motion activated IED etc. I thought they would have cleared the train and platform and called the police.
@@HellHunter00 I suspect that doesn't happen because despite the sound logic, it would paralyse the network. 1 passenger alarm shuts down most of the line until it's resolved because one train can't pass another. A level of risk is accepted for the sake of that practicality, and I guess it seems to be OK so far (I haven't ever heard of a suspicious bag being reported and then poohpoohed, only to turn out to be an IED (and if they were shutting down the whole line for ages for every suspicious bag, attackers wouldn't need to bother with explosives at all to paralyse the city).
This train termetmates at- Beep!
I work at an airport we are trained too keep an eye out for unattended luggage and what to do if we come across any that training sticks with me everywhere I go now in the current climate you can't be too careful
Well done safety first… we have to remember there is no X-rays before entering into a tube station so you did well and the right thing
Thank you! Better to be safe than sorry…
@@Mongchong_123 exactly… this isn’t Heathrow airport where security is tight… we must never forget tube stations can be easy targets… ie Tokyo subway attack to amongst others…
@@Kickflip215 Or the 7/7 London bombings. Man saw something, said something. Everyone needs to be like him.
You have to day he's done well there, Clive.
For all people who say it's just a bag:
it might have been a bomb
100% the right thing to do, I would've chosen the slight inconvenience for others over the potential cost of lives
I can’t believe this happened a year ago already, time really is quick 😂😂
Yeah I know!
This train terminates at baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap
After telling the driver there was a suspicious package, this guy then hangs around to get blown up if was a bomb.... Smart!
Lol yh
In New York City Subway, we have a emergency brake and a emergency intercom if someone left somethin’ behind, the T/O or Conductor come to pick it up and they prolly take it to the SLAF (subway lost and found)
If you're lucky that's all that happens but mostly likely the storm troopers show up and one or more people get shot dead cuz 'MURICA!!!!!, 9/11!!!!!!, GUNS!!!!!, NAZIs!!!!!, etc.
This train driver obviously never met an EL-AL security expert 😆
Understand the reasoning for no one wanting to touch it. Especially with the incident that happened in the 17 london underground bombing.
Pulling the alarm - yes
Picking the bag up - perhaps no
Given the state of the country, those invading it with terrorist motives and previous events that London has suffered….. you cannot be certain no matter how innocuous it looks.
See it, say it, sorted
I was the bag…. The passenger made the right decision!
Thanks bag!
Better to do that, because you never know if there is a bomb or mine in the bag. But if you did that in Switzerland you would get punished
One I was on a bus and there was a kids bag left unattended. I went to the driver and said “theres a unattended bag in the back”. The driver told me to bring it! I said that i’m not touching the bag. And some african woman said “its a kids bag!!” And she took it to the front. Just because it’s a kids bag, doesn’t mean it can’t be dangerous. A terrorist could have picked that kind of bag on purpose so it doesn’t look suspicious.
@@Ron_TTE yeah thats true. Any bag could be carrying a bomb or any other suspicious items. Good on you!
See it , say it, sorted 😀
When I was 3 apparently I pulled the alarm and my mum had to speak to the driver and say that her toddler son had pulled the alarm in front of angry commuters
Lol
For the people who say "why pull the handle?" or "why not just chuck the bag off the train at the next station?": You can never know with things like this, especially in a bustling capital city like London. The British Transport Police (a special police force which work on Britain's railways sorting issues like abandoned and suspicious bags, trespassers and troublesome passengers) say that should you see something out of the ordinary, you should report it; "See it, Say it, Sorted". Definitely the right thing to do here, there could be anything in that bag. Stay safe
No, never touch anything left unattended, especially, a bag of any kind. Don't go chucking them off trains either. There might well be people going to get on or off the trains and if that bag was a real bomb... bang! You've just taken out anybody in range of an explosion.
"Is it yours?" - Yeah, I pulled the the emergency thing so I could tell you I put my bag on the floor over there"
Lol
I've only ever pulled the emergency alarm once; one of the interconnecting doors between the carriages wasn't shut properly and was flapping open. I tried to close the door myself, but it didn't want to latch shut. Someone could easily have fallen out!
You did good!
Thankfully I've never been in this situation but in the 1970s one of my brothers left his school bag under the stairs of a Routemaster bus ... the police were called and conducted a controlled explosion 'just in case' it was a viable device. This was an era when bomb events and incendary devices placed in the pockets of clothing in retail shops were a serious menace to daily life.
That's got to make for a brilliant excuse for not having your homework
Not an emergency but what else is there to do. Your correct nothing. So you probably did the right thing
train drivers get paid enough so should get off their A55 on occasion
