Thread: Ban Trains Now

Like Ian just said to me should have a very mild slope on the platform sloping away from the track.....would mean putting in drainage but so what...

got to be safer then having a platform that slopes into the track.....and things like this happening

Making puns like that show that you really dont know your station in life, obviously someone has tickets on themselves..... now its time you made tracks.... go on!!!

I dont know, the boys just (when it comes to rail)yards behind!!!

anyway....

and why not have the government run a training session, fully funded by the taxpayer, to train mothers and other people, like dads, brothers and sisters, carers, relations and ****wits standing around at a station,
about how to hold a pram.

Harry accidents happen..... I'm sure you have probably experienced one or two in your life where you have though **** I wont be doing that again.

Lighten up it was only a suggestion to make a platform safer...

That accident should not have happended and could have been avoided if the Mother had been standing sideways with the Pram paralel to the train tracks not at 90 Deg on the platform if she wanted to adjust her dress/trousers whatever.

who's in the chair,I won't be railroaded in to it

This had a good outcome but I agree with harry, you can't protect people from themselves and in this case it was a genuine accident.

The woman wasn’t negligent, she simply let go of the handle of the pram to adjust her clothing, the fact that the slop on the platform was that slight that she didn’t realise the pram would roll just helped to make it an accident.

Watch the video, she is already paying for the accident in the fact that I reckon she scared 10 years off her life.

The driver is the innocent party in this but would be having nightmares about now.

As for him applying the breaks and then just becoming a passenger, if only.

Unlike a car driver, where you can try to swerve to miss something or jump harder on the brake pedal, the driver, from the time he throws the brakes to full emergency, see everything from that point on in slow motion, and it ain’t a good feeling.

Like the woman, he will remember that for the rest of his life.
