Re: them cityrail moments

In year 5 or 6 I was going to school in the train in the morning - we stopped at Epping station (I think) - and the train stopped there for ages. The train had hit a kid who had fallen down onto the tracks - police/ambulance/crowd everywhere :eek:. The kid died - I threw up. Oh the horrors of cityrail :\ :uhoh:

R.I.P. kid
Very sad.

I always wondered since the trains use electrobraking why does it take so long to stop since the momentum built up can only take you so far.

Remember that the average train weighs between 44 tons and 500 tons, depending on the type. Most fall into the 125-250 ton range. That weight coupled with metal wheels on metal tracks doesn't do well for breaking.

Re: them cityrail moments

Speaking of people dying on the tracks...favourite suicide spots on the North Shore line seems to be Roseville and Chatswood. I think 3 people have died there in the last 2 years.

Re: them cityrail moments

I hate the drivers that go on for hours over the PA system, "good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your 4:15 service to bondi junction, the next stop will be...(proceeds to go through every station)...I hope you enjoy your trip on cityrail." Then they do this at every stop, I'm like, STFU, I'm trying to read or study or whatever
there's a lady guard-person on my train occasionally who constantly wishes everyone a lovely day at work and stuff, it's quite nice actually.

It can't, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable ;) Don't tell me no-one suicides in the Inner West though.

haha i'm sure plenty of people probably do. ambulances are going everywhere all night so one of them is bound to be suicide. the innerwest is truly a colourful part of sydney baha.
