Central Line at Liverpool Street (where an incompletely cleared
train
was
responsible for a fatality a few years back, but I don't know what
the
frequency was at the hour of the fatality).
What on earth happened? how did an incompletely cleared train lead to
a
death?
The Tube driver killed him?
As was the practice on lul, trains that were going to sidings and comeing
back out again was an anouncement over the trains PA. at liverpool st the
drive made the anouncement and after he thought the train was emptied he
closed the doors went into the siding. on the way into the siding a bloke
on
train woke up and tried to leave the train by jumping out between the
carridges onto the platform. but he mistimed it and jumped out into the
tunnel. hit the wall and fell under the last carridge. now all trains have
to be manually check before reversings via sidings.
What a pillock. He could have used the alarm! The gene pool is the real
winner here.
