Beware if traveling by train in France

[ART]

Since the weekend 12 people have committed suicide on the rail tracks in France. All are unrelated but have resulted in total chaos on the SNCF. The chaos is expected to continue well into next week, even without further suicides as they tempt to put into place action to avoid repeats . A really strange event which has appeared out of nowhere.

Such is the desperation when the Socialists get in.

What colour was the train Mr Garfunkel? I went to France once and I felt like jumping off a train too.

The suicide rate in France has always been high - they also consume high levels of anti-depressants...

What an inconsiderate way to kill yourself. Same as jumping onto a motorway - just f*cks up everyone else's day.

In Japan they have special sweeper trains to clear all the mess up and keep the trains on time.
