a guy jumped in front of the train entering edgecliff station (bound for bondi). He "stuck" to the front for a bit, then

slid down & underneath.. train stopped after 2 carriages had entered the platform.

the surprise was how much people just sorta stood around. Train driver gets on the phone. People on the train

just sat there (they couldn't get off I guess without a decision on the doors). Train didn't back up. Station staff took

ages to come down. Two women just sat looking traumatized. No sign of cops or ambulances 15+ minutes. I didn't

particularly feel like hanging around to see what was left, so headed to the buses.

I guess the lesson is that if you want to end things this way, don't expect medical attention for a good half an hour

if it doesn't fully work out..

i could be wrong. but i doubt anyone who jumps infront of a train would be very interested in seeking medical attention. kinda goes against the whole "killing yourself" thing lol

on another note, i had the same thing happen at bondi station less then 2 yrs back. sum bloke sitting casually on d bench waiting for the train then as the train approached the station, he launched himself infront of it

Oh my gosh thats messed up...

A friend works for the railways dealing with the report for exactly this and you would be amazed at how often this happens really. Almost on a daily basis just around Sydney, i seen a guy jump of the overwalk bridge at Lidcombe station directly into the path of an oncoming train about 6 months ago.

I feel sorry for the ppl who have to see that sort of thing :(

Whilst doing some work transfer for EDI rail I heard a ton of stories like that, they told me its not uncommon people waiting on a bend then launch themselves out in front of the them.

Had to clean some kangaroo off the front and underneath of a few Loco's during my 10 weeks there. Big chunks of bloody fur everywhere on the axles.

pretty messed up indeed.

similar thing happened prob 4 years ago at merrylands train station, the idiot tried to cross the tracks by jumping down from the platforms and yeah, got owned. serves him right for trying to cross. cops & ambo's came in prob 10minutes, trains were terminated and had to get a cab/bus/lift home

Man that's crazy... I even had a dream I died last night, that was bad enough!

lol that bullshiet dude......

apparently i read up that in dreams...an individual actually never dies......

and i kinda agree...ive dreamed of dying...EXPERIENCES....but at the end of it.......you just either wake up or just some how get out of the situation.

anyhow dude......sorry to hear......that wouldve been a big mess......

ive seen a Suicide in Newtown Railway Station... an Emo or Gothic guy hung himself on the frames above the railway lines..... not a good site at all....

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
