Service Disruption

I work near Preston Park and there's been sirens galore for the last half hour, and a helicopter (assume the Police one) overhead.

It's also affecting trains on both the east and west coasts into and out of Brighton.

Best check the garden for debris this evening.

Sorry.

Picked a good day to be working from home by the looks of things.

Big assumption - as I've said several times on here before, I have commuted Shoreham - London Bridge for nearly 20 years now and both times I have been on a train which has hit someone, it has not be suicide.

I've been commuting since 1987 and i've never been on a train that hit someone. Whatever the reason for it, it's a sad event all round.

It was a big assumption, but turns out to be true. Not only that but she's still alive

you've gotta feel sorry for someone depressed enough to kill themselves, only to fail and lose both their legs........

She must be kicking herself.

Discount the 1987 bit. I think Mr Wanderer was exaggerating.

Sorry.

Do you need an extra hand or possibly leg?

A year longer than me then, you must be luckier than me.

The first one, a long time ago, on the old slam-doors - apparently there was a guy on the train in front of ours who was extremely pissed and managed to get out the wrong side at Balcome station, landing on the track, o when we followed shortly (going full-pelt at that point) we hit him.

The second guy (who I think did survive) was just standing too close to the edge as we passed through Norwood Junction. Not nice, either time.
