The police were called and the Fire service used a ladder to get him down. He was then taken away to see if he had any mental problems. I also have seen passangers in South Africa traveling on the roof and when the train is going slowly, they jump over the wire supports for fun.

Hi AbuAjriya & DSY011, sorry i am a little late on this one as i have had PC problems, SYD you mention South Africa,they have a game there called Surfing at which youngsters bet against each other as to who can go the furthest on a fast moving train by going from one end of the train to the other,ie 12 coaches,trying to miss the O/H wires all 25000 volts plus hanging and scaleing the outside of the carriages,conseqently their are quite a few deaths every month.
