@Random Number My brother, years ago, was a Station Master at Laverton....back when they had a SM there....He said the people there were like animals....which made him leave the job, after so many years on the railways. A whole career down the drain because of shitty people.

Dangerous places all over Australia. Hackham, Elizabeth, Morphett Vale in Adelaide. Most of shitney is a dump. Bayswater in Perth. I'm sure Brisbane has shitholes too. Mind you Frankston is fine by me, been through there many many times from the age of 18 and never had any issues.

My next door neighbour was one of those people who jumped in front of a train. I was actually heading to work at the time, and if I'd taken my normal route, rather than trying to avoid traffic, I would have seen it happen. She didn't make it. The reality is every time someone is struck by a train, there's probably a family who will be missing someone coming home at night. If you feel depressed or suicidal, reach out. Get help. There is someone out there who cares about you. Look up mental health lines, call a family member, a neighbour, a friend, someone, anyone! Just don't make that choice to take your own life. Don't do something permanent that you can't back out of.

They work for Victoria Police therefore they are Victoria Police members, they are PSO's, who have the same powers as police when it comes to crimes at train stations and other surroundings. They carry firearms and undergo exact same firearm training and defence training as police, but only study at the Academy for 13 weeks, they are very important to the public, as they are great to have at train stations, then police resources are not taken up, and PSO's are trained in dealing with passengers etc. They are important.

@@jessecliffmiller1003 you are an idiot, they don't have the same police power. They are PSO (Protective Services Officers).; They don't do an alcohol breath test, Drive police cars, or attend to the crime scene. all they do is try to keep the peace at the railway station or bus terminal and I don't think They carry firearms, maybe a taser.

@@podgee7507 PSO's area of operation beyond stations & what that can do and arrest in relation to was expanded. (PSO's stand outside Parliament & other government & related buildings, and have powers) While initially PSO's duty was just at stations & immediate area, it's much more now. They can also be first response to a crime scene until senior police get there. They do drive police cars but they're unmarked (yes, not as patrols but they are police cars). They do carry firearms. They can arrest persons for breaking any law. They can do breath tests, but just don't have necessary items on site. I know, as read changes & as a mate is a PSO. PSO's on duty, also travel on trains now. If you want to find out how far their powers extend now & see their gun touch one on the shoulder, from behind! :P. Yes they don't have as much power as usual Police, but they are part of the Victoria Police force, and they do they're training at same places. When at city stations when in groups there's often to see 1 'police' marked vest & a couple 'protective service officer' marked vests. In that situation the PSO's have many powers during an incident given to them by that Police officer.

FYI - Shinjuku Station is actually the "world's busiest railway station" with an average of 3.5 million passing through its doors every day (compared to Flinder Street station of approx 110,000 per day) :)

I live in the US but I have family who work in Melbourne. I have been on this train many times and through Flinders Station on the way to Melbourne Museum, where I volunteer. I do remember the unfortunate suicide that happened on the Hurstbridge and I was one of those affected when we had to get off of the train and board busses to Heidelberg. Oh my, what a mess that was. I feel sorry for the unfortunate person who chose to take her life.

Hi Don, yeah that happens in every city here in Australia. I was living in Adelaide in 1995 when a friend who was going to school one morning was sitting in the car with his dad waiting for a train to pass by when a schoolgirl listening to her ipod didn't see the train coming, crossed the train tracks and was sliced in half. I feel sorry for people who live in underpriviledged cities like Adelaide & sydney who take their lives this way, which is understandable as who would want to live in dirty boring places like those! Go Melbourne, Go the Vics!

safly, the incident response people become desensitised. Ive been on active duty, then worked as a village cop- saw plenty of maimed bodies. I was actually in traffic when someone either ignored the gates or was deaf or drug affected (I never found out) and ten cars behind I saw the red mist of the impact. A lot of great people did their best to hide the remains till more copd could come. Very nasty. Poor van man who got front row seat + human debtis was treated for shock, lorry driver opposite had seen it all before. Tragic. The worst is telling the family.
