Well generally people don't die from Dehydration within say 2 hours on
the hottest day of the year, that's not to say it can't happen but it is
unlikely, I would also like to add that if it is warm it is common sense
to carry a bottle of water with you.

How can you be so certain?


In the event of a fire, flood etc I can assure you that as a driver I
will get Traction Current off, I will get the emergency ladder out, I
will do all I can to get everyone to safety, that is what I am paid to
do, that is what I will do.


Accepted. It is what you are paid to do in the case of a train
failure which we are attempting to discuss.
