Man dies after being run over by 4 London Underground trains before anyone noticed

1. Surely he died after the first one?

2. Going to take a massive guess and say I don’t think he died *after* the fourth one…

3. that’ll do it

4. *Four trains*, Jeremy? *Four*? That’s insane

5. How did the first train driver not notice him lying on the tracks? That poor man.

6. What a horrible way to die, if someone was meant to be on that security camera they’ve definitely lost their job

7. Classic TFL

8. Fairly sure it would have been during.

10. Well that sounds absolutely horrific. Just a quick question, I know a lot of the Underground is driven by computers nowadays, but aren’t there still drivers in the cab for this very reason? I’m just shocked how 4 different trains could’ve ran over somebody without anyone realising?

11. And people say we need train drivers and not automation for passenger safety 🙄

12. FOUR! Insane failure from TFL. Poor man.

13. But did he died though

14. He died after being run over by 4? Or he died after being run over by 1 and the rest ran over a corpse?

16. This is why the unions are opposed to automatic train operaration.

17. Jesus Christ this was *at* Stratford station, jubilee line platform, how the fuck was it not noticed that someone was on the track for half an hour? Awful. 

18. Once one’s run over him then there won’t be much anyone could have done.might as well keep the trains a-rolling. Don’t want to be late for work.

19. I think the first train might have killed him, but still sending 3 more to finish the job sounds unhinged.

    Oh, the title doesn’t mean it took 4 trains to kill him. Silly me.

20. He was fine hanging in there until the fourth one

21. “The report added that the fourth train to arrive at the platform was not stopped by a customer service assistant that was present, despite both the operator and assistant being aware at this point that someone was on the track.”

    Wild…
    How? What on earth was that all about?

22. So 3 the magic number

23. Is it true that tube drivers getting retire on full salary if they have 3 x people jump under their train?

24. 4 was probably over kill one would have probably done

25. Not my job to stop the train, union states I only have to start it

26. RAIB report – which goes into all the details – can be found here:

27. Ah, TfL’s brilliant staff at it again… literally! I’m sure the union will strike if any action is taken against their sheer incompetence.

28. It is a similar story to that lady who fell on the tracks and knocked her teeth out, the train came and took her arm, and then another one came and took her leg before people noticed that she was there. She was on Sky News talking about how there’s plenty of CCTV on the platform, but no one is watching it in real time.

29. Title makes it sound like it took 4 trains to finally kill him. If that’s true, what a trooper.

30. Did he only die after the forth one?
