Bad Wolf Posted 23 November, 2012 Share Posted 23 November, 2012 My train towards Southampton today coming from Portsmouth was delayed because of somebody being hit by a train. Can't seem to find any updates, anybody heard anything? Hope he/she is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudders Posted 23 November, 2012 Share Posted 23 November, 2012 Bit of a misleading title. Train hitting a person is as much a train crash as a car hitting a bird is a car crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted 24 November, 2012 Share Posted 24 November, 2012 Used to get this on the Underground a lot. Expected delays, 'person under train' at such and such station. You never heard much sympathy from the commuters. I bet nearly every tube driver employed has had to go through that horror at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "one under" is the phrase used on the London Underground." Very common and very sad. There are a lot of desperately unhappy people in London.

InvictaSaint Posted 24 November, 2012 Share Posted 24 November, 2012 NYC subway operatives charmingly refer to such incidents as 'platform pizza'; I suppose black humour is as good a coping mechanism as any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
