As a driver who helps victims of train suicide I think it's very poor
of the company to take the 40 pieces of silver for this film to be made
on TFL premises, there is no rule about wiping our 3 members of the
public in a month and getting 10 years salary tax free, for some they
never make it back onto the front.

I have every sympathy with what you do in your job, but this is
just-another-case of "New Scientist" (or Which? Magazine) syndrome,
which is that any subject you don't know about seems to be depicted
pretty much OK, but anything you *do* know about is a complete travesty.

eg: Cop-shows on TV are staggeringly unrealistic when it comes to police
procedure; it's just not funny (if you worry about such things). On the
other hand, if you think scene-of-crimes officers double as a swat team,
or can read a cctv image of a car numberplate a mile away - keep
watching CSI-NewYork without complaining.
