| 1342061 | 2013-05-20 23:38:00 | Is it still a twenty pound fine for pulling the emergency cord without justification? :D | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1342062 | 2013-05-20 23:39:00 | You can probably thank the tossers on the RWC trains for that, people too scared to use emergency brakes in an emergency :rolleyes: Pretty sure that a passenger hyperventilating / passing out in a crowded train passes as an emergency. They did the right thing. |

| 1342065 | 2013-05-21 00:44:00 | I think on the RWC trains it was the (lack of) start buttons that were the problem. Trains used to be called puff-puffs. Now they mostly suck. ;) |

| 1342067 | 2013-05-21 11:19:00 | Derailments are usually caused by lack of maintenance to track & rolling stock. Highly likely in a third world standard country which is continually cutting back on the workers in order to make more profit for the share holders and officials. What scares me more is when an Airline cuts back on service staff. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 1342068 | 2013-05-21 11:50:00 | I did read that, you'd think if you heard strange noises, you would alert the train staff?? Not really, as a Wellingtonian you hear all sorts of noises on the Train esp. on the Johnsonville Line :lol: Anyway, the Bystander Theory kicks in here. There were so many people on the train who heard the noises that they each assumed that someone else would contact the right authority, even if they had all heard the noises. Sadly because of that this happened. So basically it is easy say "Why didn't anyone say something" when your sayin' it, and not the one in the actual train... Sad but true. |

On a trial basis they have employed some artists that will operate in pairs. They will be positioned a league apart and will each do an oil painting of passing trains with a copy of that days paper showing the date. |
