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?

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.

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.
