If it was suicide then it's the most distributive. No doubt trains were massively delayed

Very sad....it's the train driver i feel sorry for, they have to deal with the fact that the train they were operating killed someone, they will need counselling.:(

A guy in the year above me at school threw himself in front of a train when he was 18... messy way to go. They couldn't find a leg for a few days. Of course, people told this tale with some glee at school :/. Kids, eh.
