I did wonder how he got his head out a window.

Witnesses on the train saying he was decapitated. Bit of a waste of time calling out the air ambulance, in that case. I mean they're good, BUT...

They should have let the myth continue.

Now all train operators are going to have to pay for expensive signs like they had on slam door trains.

If it's not a fast train then commuter trains in the SE have these windows you can pull open but you have to be a contortionist or have a small head to get through the gap.

I reckon he did the former hence his head being elsewhere...

The torygraph are reporting he was looking out to see why the train wasn't going very fast.

Yes, and the paramedics were called 'to attend a passebger with a head injury'.

The head being 2 miles down the line...
