8mins delay to the service, excellent effort from a railway where common sense is still used! If it was on the UK Railway the Police would have to come, probably close the station for hours, then a proper service wouldnt resume till the next day!

Yes excellent response from the public and train staff ~ If it happened here in Sillypore, the same would happen like bronzeonion has mentioned. People here just can't be bothered with what happens to other people so long they themselves are not affected. And when they are, they just start complaining...

 

They will be like: "Are you crazy? You want me to push the dirty train with my bare hands? Who cares what happens to the girl? That's her problem! Why is the train not moving? Why is the train late? blah blah blah...'

Over here you'd probably get arrested for vandalism because you're trying to tip over a train ..

I doubt you can get that weight to tip over though...

First thought: How can someone possible fall into that tiny space...

Second thought: Oh my god that train is clean ;)
