How did none of the many there not spot the train and tell him? While I think it'd be quite cool to have a video of myself stood a few inchs from a moving train, I wouldn't really like to be seen as a train spotter :P
lmao /agreed. i thought that too, people coulda been like "MATE MOVE!!"
oo that was pretty kl that he survived that
Didn't see that coming.
Lucky for him.
he doesn't even seem that phased at the end lol
Just had another thought. Surprisingly suicide by train is one of the most common methods of suicide, you don't hear about it much but it's not that uncommon. Drivers apparently get compensated £250 for each "kill" as such to help them cope with it, although many get depressed and quit I believe.
I remember hearing on a train once, a few drivers were on a table opposite and one actually said "i'm hoping for a couple of jumpers this month, last month got one and took the wife out for a meal" - Seriously sick stuff.
omg lmao, are you sure they weren't joking?!
£250 seems a bit dire :/ potential career ender
No he seemed pretty serious. Not really stuff you'd joke about it either.Quote:

LOL I've honestly never considered it, I just find it quite an interesting subject :PQuote:

Thats crazy, they should probably either put the fast trains on another bypass track to avoid such potential disasters. That, or put some safety rails in atleast.
My god that was inches away.
And lol at that Steam Engine, having a Class 37 Diesel on the end. Doesn't look like a traditional train and carriage with that on the end.
Yeah I'm a nerd, so what, wanna fight about it?
NERD!!!!!! :PQuote:
