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....

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
