Incident at the local station?

I've had the pleasure of walking along a line picking up the 'bits' before. Things like that you never get out your head.

That's assuming you can find all the "bits". Spent a whole afternoon last year walking up and down a stretch of railway looking for certain "bits" that were at first, completely missing.

A girl from my degree class did this. She did it as she was upset because her parents had separated :confused:

Massively selfish and it did have an affect on her friends in our class.

Plenty of space under a normal train.

Yea, I guess it's used generally rather than just specifically for the underground

Do the shoes get blown off by the impact?

And who's to say the lines are electrified anyway in the OPs case.....

The Higham line (and most of the ones around here) are all third rail electrified.

Sometimes but not always. This is quite common for all injury causing impacts including road traffic collisions. As is loss of other items of clothing at the point of impact.

I got hit by a car and my shoe flew off, but I didn't do the laces so it would have flown off if the wind caught it just right!

Yeah.

I'm pretty sure if you step infront of a train going 70mph you're definitely going under it

My dad saw a suicide once, don't think he'll ever get over it. One of my friends dad sent himself off this way, closed casket affair

Do companys specialise in cleaning up guts ?

surely if the trains doing 70mph you'd pretty much explode when it hit you, rather than go under it?.

someone jumped in front of a train? Isn't this a 'semi-regular' occurance anyway?

Jesus Christ at the amount of people that assume Suicide is just some random selfish act to inconvenience you :rolleyes:

I went to a fatality at Artnside that wasn't so bad - a cow tried crossing the lines in front of a DMU - Dads chest freezer was full of beef for 6 months!

That must have been quite an effort, transporting a mortally wounded cow carcass from a rail accident then getting a butcher to cut it up into useable meat then freezing it all! I hope this wasn't all done on company time.

I was on a train that hit someone once, got held up by about 3 hours, and she didn't do it right either. I think she jumped too late so got knocked to the side rather than run over and she survived.

Been in a train when someone went under. You could hear the body being crushed underneath the carriage (we were very near the front).
