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.

I don't remember it like that... ISTR he was just walking through the
train
to the driver, but as he was passing between two carriages the train
went
around an extreme curve to enter the sidings between the running lines,
and
he fell between the carriages.

That is the version we were told during training (plus the gory details)
And as for someone's comment about the gene-pool, IIRC the young man was a
medical student.

As the only person that knew for sure what he was intending to do ended up
with his neck on the right hand running rail with 5 carriages wheels going
over it resulting in it being the thickness of a rizla paper, nobody will
ever know for sure if he was trying to leave the train or make contact with
the driver.
