Then that is really scarey that a highly professional, well paid
driver can't follow the simple signs that all the rest of us have to
follow.
Isn't the driver responsible for the safety of the passenger or does
that only extend from the train to the platform where somebody else is
responsible for evacuation in an emergency.


(Snipped Text above)

The driver made a mistake because he is a human, like you (maybe) and
I.
Unfortunately mistakes are made and just becuase his job is more
safety critical role does not reduce the fact that he is going to make
a mistake.

The best they can do is find out what lead the driver to make the
mistake and try and prevent it in the future.

How do your comments really help?
