That's because you were all trying to kill yourselves. I feel I was right to shout at you/everyone else for it as it is very dangerous and potentially life threatening...

The more safety signs that are stuck up everywhere, the more they get ignored. :?

Iv'e watched the video and the driver did "beep" at Tangy and it did seem to startle him as well..

But what I want to know is how the heck to you run from West Ruislip :arrow: Ickenham and look as fresh as that, not breathing heavily or a bead of sweat... :(

Be me. :)
Or do it during a light snowfall on a mid-January morning, with a brisk north-easterly wind.

Here is a report from the man himself.

Came into Icky with my camcorder filming and onto the pltaform and in ord3er to get a good roundel shot I postioned myself by the edge of the platform, in a position I though wa sn't too dangerous.

Andi said something like "train" and I actaully looked round and noted the train coming, so I was aware of its presence and it wasn't exactly going at a high speed since it was already slowing for the station call (If it was a HST thundering through Slough for example, then yes that is totally different).

As Matt says, on the deep level lines this is a regular occurence and I doubt there would be such a flare up. The driver did use his horn, but as I knew of it's presence beforehand I just ambled out of the way ready to get on it when it stopped.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!
