In Japan, they have started adding gates on the platform this prevents jumpers and people being pushed during rush hour.

The Jubilee line in London also has this. I'm not sure it would be possible to install gates on some of the old stations on the other lines of the London underground, as platforms are often quite narrow.

One of the reasons why London Underground have not installed platform gates is because on curved platforms there is a risk that a passenger could fall between the platform and the train and become trapped. Lots of platforms on the tube have very large curves and a person could easily fall into the gap. While the Jubilee Line extension and the new Elizabeth line has full height glass doors, the primary purpose of these is actually to do with ventilation and smoke extraction, not to stop people from falling onto the track. That is why the above ground Jubilee Line extension stations do not have platform doors.

So the Tube is so big and has sooo many curved platforms it’s impossible to put in gates... yet Japan has more stations and more people on each platform and they have curved platforms and yet... have put in gates. The platforms aren’t circles, their long curves. You can put in gates. Yoyogi is a long curve and it has gates. Could it be as simple as...not enough funding to install?

Even went looking for the guy on the tracks. The wheels cut him right above his waist, so his major organs were destroyed. It was only a matter of time before he went DOA to the hospital.

This hits home. I drove light rail several years ago, and had a woman in a car race toward my train while I went through the downtown area. It was terrifying, and I could not drive the train for a some time afterwards. Though she slammed on her breaks, and stopped just inches from the front of my train, it is the worst experience I have ever had in a job. I can empathize with this young woman. I hope she gets back to train driving some day.

It was very traumatic for him, and his family. About 15 years ago l was on a country train, coming back to Melbourne when a person suicides near Sunshine station. Getting off the train, you could see his body a few hundred metres away.

Re 'Jumpers' a bloke {train driver}I knew had to quit his job after a particularly traumatic suicide {Overground train}. It can really affect people badly. The Driver just could not get the sight from his memory. The person met his eyes.. {Transpired they had 'escaped' from a unit for people with mental health issues} Driver said ''You see them, but cannot stop''.. Unsurprisingly, it often triggers severe PTSD in the drivers.

Everyone experiences mental illness differently.

@@DreamClean Deer are just animals and cannot be expected to have road sense, like kangaroos and koalas here in Australia that wander onto the road and get killed by passing cars, buses or trucks that don't see them until it's too late. But people who choose to end their lives do so often for selfish reasons, then it's left to the rest of their families to pick up the pieces, and for a train driver like the lady in this episode, her career could be wrecked by the selfish actions of someone who is a total stranger to her.

Wow 50 people in year threw themselves under the metro train just in London alone. I always thought that maybe 3 to 5 people a year at most committed suicide by jumping in front of a metro train in London. That is just unbelievable that so many people a year kill themselves by metro train in a year, that's sad if you think about it. It takes some guts to jump in front of a train, truck or car.

This is a difficult situation and I can speak from personal experience; I've been involved with the outcome of several suicides in my time with Railtrack and Network Rail in 2000's involving my close colleagues., and personally picking up and dragging the bits from animal collisions. The worst was probably walking a mile of track to a reported hit about midnight. It was dark with no surrounding lights and as I approached the reported area by a signal I could see a lump in the 4' lit up by the red light, the size of a child. I was relieved to find it was a body of a deer. This was relayed back to control and the PSB, so hopefully the Driver could be informed it was not a human he had hit, as well as opening the line up again. Fast forward to 2012 in New Zealand when my life went tits up. Over the next 9 years I have attempted suicide by overdose 4 times but got it wrong. All possible ways went through my head including jumping in front of a train, but NZ doesn't have a Railway, so you would probably die of boredom waiting for one. The point of this rant is that when you are in that frame of mind of ending it all, you don't think of others. I am truly sorry for all those that have had deal with suicides but that is the reality of a very depressed person, and I can see both sides of it having been on both sides myself. Hopefully the Governments will invest more into Mental Health, I have basically been dismissed as not ticking the right boxes. We all die one day but for some life is shit and death can't come soon enough.

The Government says suicide is legal, but it does everything it can to make it very difficult to actually do. Safe and effective drugs for reliable and peaceful overdose? Illegal to get. Almost impossible for prescription. City gas? Get rid of that. You will even be detained in a psychiatric hospital if you want to kill yourself, but suicide is legal. You can't give someone counsel or assistance in committing suicide, but suicide is legal. It's the only thing that is legal to do, but illegal to assist with. That's just cruel. Maybe if euthanasia and/or assisted suicide were provided, competent people in constant physical and/or psychological pain could have a reliable and peaceful death, and not have to jump in front of trains, or botch overdoses or hangings, and ruin many people's days or even lives. If it were provided, some people don't even end up killing themselves, because they know they have a way out, and have the strength to fight a terminal illness to the end. It's cruel to say you can kill yourself, and then take away all the reliable and peaceful ways to do it. It's also cruel to say you can't have a reliable and peaceful death for your psychological suffering, and then don't help people live, even if they've been begging for help from the NHS, other Government bodies, and even family for years. Anyway, they'll just keep installing platform screens to take away yet another way to end your suffering relatively quickly (if done properly). Note that they only ever show 'survivors' who say they're happy to be alive, and not the dead ones who are glad they died, or the living ones who are sorry they didn't die.

That is so sad that the female train driver went through all that and couldn’t go back full time. People who commit or try to commit suicide clearly don’t think about what that trauma would do to other people like the train driver or even an innocent bystander. So now this driver has been traumatized by what that person did and can’t go back to work full time...maybe they or someone should compensate her the rest of the pay she would’ve received if she worked full time...that would be the fair thing to do.
