It (sadly) happens in London, and that's how they write it. Some of the newer stations have a protective barrier that only opens when the train stops to prevent this accident (or suicide..) occuring andrew crighton

I've seen that, it is an eye-opener: those things have really happened in near history close to us. Great movie. andrewaaa5 wrote in post #3724591 ..of course not.

Sad story, but l guess the thousands and thousands passing that sign do not spend to many seconds thinking that. My Instagrams

Sometimes its suicide and I'll bet sometimes its because the platforms are just so full and people like to push. The new Jubilee extension has an extra barrier which is far far safer but I'm not sure if it'll ever propagate to the other stations, most of them simply don't have the space 5D : 17-40L : 85 f1.8 : 135L f2.0L - Full Gear List Here!
