Hell ride through City Loop
* Mex Cooper
* July 3, 2008 - 4:43PM
EXCLUSIVE Terrified train passengers held on to each other as a Sydenham train sped towards the City Loop with a door wide open this morning.
A shaken passenger, who did not want to be named, said she clutched her heavily pregnant friend as the packed train left North Melbourne just before 8am with the door open.
"We were pretty close to the doorway and as you leave North Melbourne the tracks are very wobbly and the train rocks backwards and forwards so we had to pretty much hang on for life," she said.
The passenger said a man near the doorway repeatedly pressed the emergency response button but the train did not slow down or stop.
She said passengers huddled further into the carriage so cramped commuters could move away from the door after unsuccessful attempts to force it shut.
"People were just shocked. It wasn't like people were screaming but everyone was stunned that the door was still open," she said. |
Oh noes!

Is this what it takes to be a Victorian now days? I was hatched here but I can't really stand the bloody place and now it looks like I'd better move beffore someone whinges about me driving the Moke with the roof foldes down along the Pricess Fwy doing the 100 with nothing move than a thin strip of fabric holding my sorry arse inside the bloody thing.
Must be something in the water, the further from the city you get the less whinging there is vor various reasons (Moe not included)

Sensationalist news reporting at it's finest.
Here, it'd be.

EXCLUSIVE Fucked off passengers winked too each other as a Gawler bound train sped towards the King St bridge with a door wide open and prat teenager begging for mercy.
An irate passenger, who identified himself as Don T Givadamn, said he tried with all his might to teach the teen a lesson he wouldn't forget, to the Stick that one up your arse! of fellow passengers.
"We were pretty close to smearing his face against the tunnel walls, but the little bastard held on for dear life," he said.
The passenger said the boy had repeatedly fucked with the doors of the railcar, forcing the train, and its fare paying passengers to wait at stations longer than necessary.
He said passengers had become increasingly intolerant of little shits causing such delays, so passengers moved unsucessfully on the boy to force him out upon his final attempt to open the doors whilist underway.
"People were so pissed off. They were screaming obscenities, loosening his grip on the doors and wishing him a painful death"
A Police statement reported that security footage of the incident was too vague to identify any of the passengers, with no charges expected to be laid. It's understood the teen was later pummeled with ballast as he ran from the station.
'He won't be so lucky next time', said Don.

Hehehe. A P, that is brilliant work. 
I suspect you may have started a RAILBASTARD meme here - er "bastardised" newspaper reports.

So, no traction interlocking or just no working traction interlocking?
I'm from the "all the doors open, all the time" camp but you've gotta admit, this is pretty bad in this day and age. It's almost as good as the packed Tangara on which the doors opened while travelling at speed, not so long back.

Yeah, that's an interesting angle too. It's relatively more unsafe than it was in the good old days because cunts aren't used to it.
I drove a forklift in an environment crowded with pedestrians for a decade or more without even a near miss. Then they introduced safety vests. A couple of times afterwards, I've had to pull up real quick because somebody wasn't wearing one, and my own reactions had been dumbed down to mere "look for fluoro flash out of corner of eye" level.

| Heh, the door that opens while you're leaning on it is much more dangerous than the one that was open all the time, yes. But, according to the experts, power operated doors are much safer and hardly anything will ever go wrong, they hope.

Three options:
1. Doors forced in the first few seconds after they were proved closed.
2. Defective equipment (PLC isolated or bypassed or microswitch sticking)
3. Driver had the shits up and kicked the BVIC out.
Don't want to speculate further other than to concur that the average passenger, if not a worthless feral cocksucking shithead is a fucking worthless moaning sooking pathetic girls blouse cunt. Or cuntette.
I think we need another big fuckoff world war with zillions of dead and injured so these softcock shithead pissant oxygen thief cunts can gain a bit of perspective
Hmm I seem to have lost my tolerance this evening!

More softness:

Passengers have told The Age online of their "terrifying" ride on the train that sped through the City Loop with an open door during Tuesday's peak hour.
Connex has confirmed a packed Sydenham train left North Melbourne station just after 8am with one door open, forcing passengers to hold on to each other for safety.
One reader, who was in another carriage, observed "screams and general panic" as the train left North Melbourne station.
"The train sped up and people starting pushing from the door and trying to secure space down the corridor or towards my door," the reader said in an email.
"On a couple of occasions, the train rocked violently and pushed people towards the open door. I became concerned that the doors as a whole were faulty and that the door I was pressed against could open."
Another passenger said several worried people had tried to close the doors but couldn't get them shut.
"I was right next to the doors at the time and several attempts were made to close the doors but they were stuck open," another reader wrote.
"I saw a man press the emergency button however there was no response. We were all extremely lucky no one was seriously injured." |

A door was open? Big fucking whoop! Doors used to be air-conditioning. No-one fell out so it just proves no cockheads were on board.
Thundering down the roughest line in Victoria at 115kms standing in the gangway of an R class, with nothing but a small chain preventing you from falling out...now thats thrill seeking danger!

| I wonder if the train would have "rocked violently" if the doors had been shut.

Christ, haven't the poor commuters gone soft?! In the '60s on Sydney red rattlers, without power doors, I used to hang half-out the door, holding onto a grab rail with one hand, being gently brushed by the line-side shrubbery between Wollstonecraft and Waverton in the a.m. peak, and I'm none the worse off for it. There were no screaming, hysterical passengers in them days, it was normal - and it did involve tunnels, at Waverton, Nth Sydney and Wynyard.
