What would you propose? A certificate of mental stability from all

One area that needs to be addressed is the police and fire brigade
approach to such incidents. It's usually the them that require a
complete shutdown. NR and the railway companies need to get together
with the emergency services to examine more efficient ways of
recovering the train service. It's difficult but it can be done.

There was a report a few days ago about a new 3D laser device the police are
to use on road accidents to allow the site to be cleared more quickly and
the details then recreated on a computer for detailed study. It would be
nice to think this could be adopted by Network Rail, and not just for
suicides.

Although there has been some levity about the most recent incident, we have
to remember that the police are dealing with an unexplained death and need
to tread cautiously .

Better CCTV would allow an explanation to be forthcoming very quickly
for many of the suicides. And they wouldn't even need to get their feet
wet.

Replacing the sleepers with a smooth tray would allow a form of car wash
to be fitted to the affected stations.
