Honestly? Don’t jump in front of trains. It’s a bad look. Also, it messes up everyone’s day. Yours, the driver’s, the 3,000 people who were going to Milton Keynes. It’s just a very public way to have a private crisis. But since he survived, he’s got a second chance. And he definitely has a conversation starter for pub trivia.
So, next time you’re on a delayed train, take a breath. It could be a signal failure. It could be leaves on the track. Or it could be someone having the worst day of their life. And if that someone is alive at the end of it? Well, that’s a win. A weird, dark, British win.
Pour one out for the guy. And for the driver. And for the poor soul who had to clean the tracks. Cheers to all of us just trying to get through the day without jumping. You’re doing great. Seriously.
