Can we learn from the tube drivers?

[expat]

Can we get in some new tube drivers from India at a reduced rate?

No because that would be hurting British workers. Millions would vote against a government that did that.

We are not British workers, nor are we British business. We are a cost to British business. Nobody will vote against a government that shafts us.

That doesn't seem to happen so much these days.

Happens quite a bit. 147 fatalities last year if I remember the poster correctly.

That was all accidents, not just "persons under a train" wasn't it?

I will see if I can find out anything.

It turns out there was an FOI request for the same information back in March, and they have the information in a spreadsheet.

How many of them were suicides and how many accidents? Were any pushed?

A lot of underground trains run overground my learned friend, The throwing themselves was figurative not literal!

I know they do - but the majority do not!

What's going on with the central line - when it comes to ending it that seems to be the track of choice.

Woot! Go the Northern Line, I knew we'd win on aggregate

Depends on how you add up the points. If it's 3 points for a death and one for a near miss the n the Central line wins with almost 50% of all the deaths. Well done that line - obviously the Man U of death related underground lines.

My Grandfather used to work as Deputy Station Master at Paddington. One of the jobs he had back then was dealing with a "one under" when they happened. Described it as like fishing joints of raw meat out from under the wheels.

This was alongside kicking in the cubicle doors to drag out the OD'd junkies in the toilets and other delicate tasks.

Did they not call a paramedic?
