The staff at railway stations are a total blessing they put me in touch with the samaritans if it was not for the help I would not be here today myself I found it very helpful to have someone else to talk to.
Learning so much about the railway industry to eventually go in. I’m autistic (Asperger’s). But this video has made me learn so much. Ten minutes saves life’s and that’s probably something I’ll remember for a long time.
I'm autistic as well. It's good you have a special interest, and if you want, buy my book 'How to start, carry on and end conversations' (Amazon and Booktopia).
People like him have saved my life when I've had a Mental Episode on the railways! I'm eternally grateful to people like Jimmy! And still have a chat to them whenever I visit them as well! These tactics are critical in these situations for everyone to be safe. Sadly, a few people don't do it. And can be deadly.
Life can be hard sometimes but sue icide by railway is one of the most selfish ways to go. Top blokes like Jimmy have to witness it and clean up the mess. It’s not fair
This is a really important video, not just for railway staff but for members of the public as well, if you can spot the signs then you can potentially save a life. Isn't that worth 10 minutes of anyone's time?
Oh, this is so touching. Especially the bit where Jimmy confronts the poor fella and takes him for a cuppa. Well done, Jimmy and I hope that man got the help he obviously desperately needed.
@@Gencturk92 it’s a traumatic sight to see for everyone whether it be people on the platforms of the driver that couldn’t stop in time A friend of mines dad was a train driver for 18 years and he had what they call “a one under” And he needed 7 months off work for his mental health after the incident and therapy for years for the trauma So yeah it ain’t pretty
@@Gencturk92 The initial impact will break a lot of bones, but it won't necessarily be 'messy'. The mess happens when the body goes under the train and is run over by potentially 50 wheels. This may be a 'clean cut', bisecting the person in half or decapitating them, for instance, or the body may be spun round at a huge RPM between the wheel bogies. The centrifugal effect of this can lead to limbs being ripped clear of the torso, as well as evacuation of the innards etc. That's a 'messy' one. Hope this helps.
I wasn't looking for them, but some train drivers stories videos came up before, about their near misses, so I started watching them, then this one came up. This is such a great video. This needs to be shown to groups of men, maybe in social clubs, sports clubs or even prisons, to get this important message out there. It takes a lot to make me emotional, but I don't mind saying this video did. The station guy was such a hero with that guy.
We've all got our demons. The poor, the rich, the employed, the unemployed, the married, the single, .... Teenagers with hormones raging around their bodies have a particularly tough time. A kind word, gently asking "Are you OK ?", offering a cuppa and a chat can go a long way towards helping someone beat their demons back.
So glad Neil was able to get help the rail guy is a hero he really is I had a tear in my eye so sad. Remember to anyone going through this you’re not alone do speak to someone b it a family member friend doctor or even pass a by or pet. You have people that love you and will support you in any way keep smiling sending hugs to anyone who lost loved ones through suicide may they rest in peace Xx
Fab , put these on TV and other RU-vid sponsor videos adverts that the younger ones watch ! I'm soo glad to see there is new updated in-depth , relevant , empathetic , emotionally attached , hard-hitting , and a little graphic image , educational videos being made by Network rail on railway safety . Generally Its Such a shame that seconds of safety madness at times can result in lifelong mental health traumas for all involved and lives ruined . As someone myself who has been in a suicidal situation (not via the railway) between ages 18 to 20 and who i have met many unwell people from older "mentally tougher" generation it's great to see schemes like Mental health first aid training exist by law now and the other railway station training safety welfare teams exist too now like at Clapham . After all it's sadly the most easiest way to end one's life today . But It's PAINFULLY SAD in many of these cases after the station staff , medics and police have done their bit , the real struggle to victim recovery is with the VERY poorly resourced NHS Mental health sector , with long waiting lists , scarce treatments whose job it is to stop these poor souls like myself becoming in this situation on the railway again . Ps I hope the the real victim in this is doing well if he was a really in that situation .
It is harder for progress forward when everything is run by monopolies or the state where there is no competition but lots of restrictions. They do not need to progress forward for they dominate and make money either way. There are countless dedicated independent entities and even people who master their craft whether it is healthcare or educating people. An example is American healthcare where there are rarely waiting lists and providers start treating you well within a week if you are not well or in pain. You pay for what you get.
so i take the train to london around two, three times a week. i have suffered with depression and anxiety for around ten years now. sometimes it does scare me that i might have a suicidal episode when i’m waiting on the platform. i feel like i risk it every time i’m there. thank god for people like this man. i’d be very grateful if someone like this was looking out for me & checking if i’m okay.
Sorry for the slow reply, I have been out of the country for a while. Thank you all so much for your kind responses, as a sufferer of PTSD from my army days you can probably imagine it didn't take much encouragement to be involved in this video. God bless everyone involved in supporting the treatment of mental health x
Jimmy thank you so much for this. It's not just uniformed professionals that could use this but the general public as well. We all need a little compassion and understanding in our lives and you provided just that and saved his life. Well done 👍
Very good film; I don't know how it is but the Southern lines seem to attract a lot of suicides, I used to be delayed once or twice a year, on a journey that I would only make on 26 days. It's my habit to wander up and down a platform if I have a long wait, and I did have one of the platform staff come after me once when I had 45 minutes to wait for a connection; I'd wandered up to the London end of platform 9 at Clapham jnc.
It can be very easy to fall into the pit of despairs where there only appears to be one way out. Well done Jimmy for supporting Neil to find the other way...he didn't just save Neil's life, but changed what would have been a devastating future for his family and friends.
I actually know the number for the Samaritans off the top of my head. It's displayed at many train stations across Great Britain - I learned it after seeing it on the safety fencing on platform 7 at Wimbledon train station. (Wimbledon is a station I use a lot, as I have a lifelong local connection to the area.)
They are they are usually undercover or like regular workers, I met one at chester le street and she was lovely and bought me a train ticket back to Durham after I told her my interest on trains
Important video. What's even more important is this comments sponsor, Raid Shadow Legends. RAID: Shadow Legends™️ is an immersive online experience with everything you'd expect from a brand new RPG title. It's got an amazing storyline, awesome 3D graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never before seen champions to collect and customize. I never expected to get this level of performance out of a mobile game. Look how crazy the level of detail is on these champions! RAID: Shadow Legends™️ is getting big real fast, so you should definitely get in early. Starting now will give you a huge head start. There's also an upcoming Special Launch Tournament with crazy prizes! And not to mention, this game is absolutely free! Ok look I just had to make this video's 69th comment special lol
Looks like Purley to me - you can see the old Class 455 Southern train at 3:33. For the record, when he said Victoria, he didn't mean Manchester Victoria, he meant _London_ Victoria.
It sounds as if Jimmy has had some very good training. What's more is, that this is scene as a mental issue and that there are no real attempts to criminalise the person in question.
