Yep, a mate is an operations manager for the underground, he has run 4 people over. He doubts there are many drivers that haven't hit some one and regularly has to deal with traumatised drivers, obviously the jumpers have issues but it's hard to feel sympathy for them imo

This is an evergrowing problem with kids of today, you have 'chicken' where they run in front of the train, l have a very good mate who works on SW Trains, and in the first week, he had three A********, do it, and they think it is funny, l live very near THREE SW train stations, and it is notorious, can someone explain too me, why the hell they do it, it must be for the adrenalin rush, seeing the train go over you, but to me they are bloody stupid and have no feeling for the driver, whatsoever.
