Tube Driver Faints on Moving Train

One important thing that doesn't seem to have been picked
up anywhere in the various reports of this is why was the
train going along with the cab door open anyway? If the
story is true as told, then it doesn't say much for the
quality of the I/Op (road trainer) that was training him
and this is definitely a disciplinary issue. It would seem
that the trainee was very lucky in just getting away with a
few bruises.

The trainee opened the door because he was feeling faint, wanted fresh air
and then fainted.

You have to wonder what kind of man feels sick and faints
just because
some other guys are discussing a vasectomy. I'm relly not
sure I'd want
this lightweight in charge of my train and god knows how
he'd react in an
emergency that possibly involved injuries. Burst into tears
and throw up
over the passengers?

How someone reacts to a conversation and how they react to a real event are
two totally different things. I also suffer the same probelm and have
meaasured my length in a pub when a discussion I was in got round to such
things (I did manage to put my pint on the bar first), despite the fact that
the injury we were talking about was mine. I've have also had to deal with
various emergencies and do so without folding up.

That was one option I hadn't thought of - is that confirmed as to what
happened?. Either way, the I/Op is still responsible for the train and
even if the trainee had only just opened the door, the I/Op should have
been watching out.

That is definite.

Agreed. A definitive version can be seen at

I guess your nickname on here is ironic then?

Uh huh. And what happens if someone gets injured and you have to discuss it
with a paramedic? Will you just say "Oh , excuse me I feel faint, I must go to the
powder room..." ??
