Default That Liverpoool Street fatality a few years ago (was Crossrail: Paddington reversers)

As was the practice on lul, trains that were going to
sidings and comeing back out again was an anouncement
over the trains PA. at liverpool st the drive made the
anouncement and after he thought the train was emptied he
closed the doors went into the siding. on the way into the
siding a bloke on train woke up and tried to leave the train
by jumping out between the carridges onto the platform.


I don't remember it like that... ISTR he was just walking through the

train
to the driver, but as he was passing between two carriages the train went
around an extreme curve to enter the sidings between the running lines,

and
he fell between the carriages.

That is the version we were told during training (plus the gory details)
And as for someone's comment about the gene-pool, IIRC the young man was a
medical student.
