I must say that deaths on the railway are hardly ever down to the driver.
The fact is that trains are basically huge and make quite a bit of noise.
Stopping distance is going to be long.

I remember watching the series on the london underground with someone being run over by a train, and the driver was shaking uncontrolably.

I hate it when people try to campaign to have drivers imprisoned for this.
I understand how upset the families must be, but they need to accept that it is not fair for an innocent man or woman just doing their job to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

If you tresspass, you will DIE.
Thats the only message anyone needs to know.
