Compelling but very upsetting.

What channel?

I was going to watch it but when they mentioned upsetting scenes I presumed it was about people going under trains.

I witnessed that at Mile End, it is horrific.

[hyperblue]

Nothing graphic was shown (thankfully), but the driver was clearly shaken up and they were scooping the remains up with a spade. Deeply unpleasant for all involved.

[Somewhatfoolish]

Anyone know why they tried to hide what stations the one unders were at - while at the same time, not REALLY hiding them - I don't even live in London any more but I recognised all the stations

[Promised Land]

What amazed me was instead of telling the public an incident has occurred on the platform, they said 'someone has gone under a train.' Even over the P.A system.

Surely there is a better way to say the platform/station is closed at present.

What might the incident be though? A fire? A bomb? you really don't want to start a panic when people are that tightly packed underground, it could go badly wrong. It's safest to explain it so nobody gets panicked.

I loved what that driver Dylan Glenister had to say, almost poetic about coming out of the tunnels at dusk. Then he said London was energy sapping & horrible!

Just watched this, wouldn't quite agree with the 'upsetting scenes' but it still wasn't happy jolly viewing.
