Engineers Are Inches Away from 630 Volts In Emergency Call Out | The Tube

Hannah Dadds passed away in 2011, aged 70. I never knew her but I used to see her often at Tower Hill Station. RIP Hannah.

"Know what they are doing" Correct but misleading, you can't fully focus on 2 things at once, you fix the break in the antenna quickly or avoid the rail. I work on live equipment all the time, sometimes it is unavoidable especially when troubleshooting, but there are ways to mitigate hazards. In this case since the work requires dexterity gloves are out but I would throw a shock pad over the rail before starting, takes 2 seconds to put on and take off but if you sneeze and your hand jerks you will be awfully grateful for 1/4" of rubber and fiberglass.

Imagine what would happen if a fart landed on the Live Rail 😳

[@annie482000]

I'd be buggered then cos my left arm jerks painfully at times and that's not through sneezing‼️

[@MervynPartin]

I agree completely. I've just watched this video for the first time. I had exactly the same thought about shielding the live rails whilst working. I also used to work on live circuits (485V dc amongst others) and there is no way that I would work in the manner shown here in the video. It does not take long to reduce risk.

So much has changed over the years. When I did my training in 2019 it was 5 weeks training and now it’s only a week!

Appalling that they did not care enough about those engineers' lives to turn off the track current because it would be "wasting time" ("it's quicker than *wasting time* taking the traction current off, doing the work, then putting it back on again"). I do not blame that specific manager, because that's what the higher ups told him, to do the repair as fast as possible, even at the expense of safety.

[@physiocrat7143]

I wasn't happy having to step over live rail once on a depot visit (legit!)

[@Steven_Rowe]

Itis 630v betweenthe outside conductor rail and the conductor rail in the centre. The outside conductor rail is 420v positive, and the centre conductor rail is 210v negative.

Going from training straight to Kings Cross... Talk about being thrown right into the fire...

Does anyone how Jackie's carrer on London Underground went? I saw a comment on another video that she became a driver on the bakerloo line but not havnt been able to find a source of that apart from a TV documentary which shows a female driver called Jackie who kinda looks like the same lady in this show?

I watched the man who got so angry because the station staff wouldn't let him travel with a ticket he bought from a tout. I don't understand why spme people get so angry and behave like he did, only for a tube ticket costing a few pounds.

[@roberteltze4850]

What is the issue with the ticket touts? Are the tickets forgeries? If so why not arrest the sellers? If the tickets are valid what is wrong with buying a ticket from them?

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

what's wrong with buying from ticket scalpers? not that complicated guv

[@roberteltze4850]

@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 Scalping generally implies selling a limited quantity ticket at above market price. They can usually print as many subway tickets as needed and if the touts were selling above the booth price there would be no reason to buy from them.

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

@@roberteltze4850 uh no. Bruvthis isn't that hard if you think for more than 2 seconds. They buy tickets at next to nothing or get them for free from people that purchase a day pass or multi ride pass. These people are done using them for the day so they will sell them for a buck or two when they would otherwise get nothing. Then they sell them to someone else for less than the Underground does, essentially stealing an additional customer from them.

[@Patrick-xf1cw]

The touts had a habit of pressuring people to give them their used tickets which they would then sell on with the proceeds funding crime and drug misuse, and it was generally antisocial behaviour. I’d guess the tickets were probably non-transferable too and any resold tickets in place of a new purchase are lost revenue for the underground.

[@philiplong3131]

Tickets are usually day tickets that they have got by collecting them from other people exciting the station. They are not transferable.
