[@simmer484]

[@tachi2.07]

Yeah, horrible

[@RatorLP]

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.

[@vincitveritas3872]

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.

[@vincitveritas3872]

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.

[@radiosification]

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!

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.

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.

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.

[@bobjacobson858]

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.

[@windsorpatb]

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

We need platform screen doors on all stations.

driving in the dark in a tunnel ,every day must take its toll on their mental health....couldn't do it......

[@TimeMeddler]

Most routes have some part outside tunnels as well.

[@travia6688]

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.

Back to this now, go on the tube in rush hour now and it’s like this again

[@markscott554]

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.

Thank you for uploading the video.

I’ve spent 23 years working in the retail field. I know a thing or two about rude people. One of my fellow KZbinrs was surprised that I haven’t jumped off a building yet! LOL!!

Why didnt the train supervisor take over driving the train when the driver was in shock.

[@hannecatton2179]

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 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.
