IS IT EVER SAFE TO DEPART 

The dispatcher will blame himself for that for the rest of his life, and it isn’t his fault, it was that blonde woman’s

I used to work on the railway. The train was clear when RA was given, so this wasn't his fault. The dispatcher can only be in hot water here because he began to walk away before the train was cleared. He should've kept an eye on the girls and told them to clear off up until the train left the platform fully.

Alice was trying to tell Janet to move back, and she was pushed accidentally by Janet. It was Janet's fault all along.

3:36 Always stand back from the moving train, always stand behind the yellow line

One of the scariest things in my time on the railway was that the new, or refurbished trains were usually built in such a way that the Guard was UNABLE to "Look Out" as we pulled away. Even if the dispatcher had still been there, with a train built like that, or a DOO one, by the time he contacted the Signal Box it'd be too late. This has happened a good few times on 375s/377s, which ironically have Guard's door controls on the Second Man's side of the cabs. But, spiteful SouthEastern, and Southern, DO NOT ALLOW the Guards to use them. The refurbed 508s and 313s have an arrow switch on their door control panels which opens and closes the cab doors for Driver or Guard, but again, since the refurb, the unit will not move unless ALL doors are shut. Now with the supposedly inferior old stock, or the newer builds as originally done, 313's etc, the dispatcher would hold two arms up, or give a red with his Bardic, DING on the bell by the Guard and train stopped, if he hadn't done so already. Glad I'm retired.

I can’t lie it wasn’t even the train’s fault, it was stupidity of that women. Like how could you be next to the train when it’s moving.

why did a class 317 sound like a Desiro

There are many more important things to notice and learn from in this video and all many people could pick up from it was the sound of the engine, wow!

Why do alot of people in the comments keep missing the point with these safety films? They're mainly used as training videos for railway staff. It doesn't matter if there's continuity errors with the locations, the TOC's or even the sounds... what matters with these safety films is that they show railway trainees what can happen if they get the job wrong. A production company would hire a location, a filming crew and some actors to put these films together (one of the actresses in this particular clip being Maddy Hill, best known for her role as Nancy Carter in EastEnders and paramedic Ruby Spark in Casualty). I myself have watched many similar clips (some being far more graphic than this particular clip) when I was on my training course for a British train operating company... many clips I watched during training showed other TOC's and types of traction which are in a completely different part of the country. But that didn't matter... because the point was to be shown the nature of an event/incident, and the circumstances which led to that event/incident taking place. Yes, I notice the continuity errors too, but that's not the point... the purpose of the video is to highlight the dangers of a situation if staff don't do their job properly. The situation depicted in these films can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone, if the staff become complacent. On some occasions, those involved in real-life incidents take part in the production of these safety films, in the hope that others learn from their mistakes. In these films, yes its only acting and its fictional, but it's based on real-life incidents... unfortunate events have happened in real-life, which has led to these films being produced for training purposes with railway staff. If there's continuity errors with the locations, the TOC, the wrong traction motor sounds, the wrong announcements for a particular station, none of that matters, because that's not the point with these safety films. My apologies for the rant, but alot of people keep missing the point!

This is why you don't run up to a train when the doors have already closed! Also the dispatcher told them many times to stand clear so it isn't his fault.

I remember this from school when I started at Kentish Town.. Nice to see it again!

Since when do trains go from Richmond to King's Lynn? 😱😱😱

Love the way all the train spotters go on like there experts in the field of linesman 😂

Janet should have stayed away from the train which caused Alice's death from the gap and the train 😔

3:50 that cry sounds like a laugh lol

Why this happened: 1 - Guard wasn't looking out of his cab window 2 - Dispatcher left the platform before the train fully left the station 3 - Girls were messing around then pushed the girl to the train, resulting in her falling in the gap 4 - Even after she fell off the platform, there was no communication to stop the train (either by Dispatcher raising both arms/red on baton or Guard using signal bell once or slamming on the E Brakes (no you dont need a master key in to apply brakes)) #keeptheguardonthetrain

People worry a lot about being sober while driving. It is a problem but why not address the problem of intoxication on train platforms more?

Why do people think it's ok to stand next to a departing train

Shouldn't the dispatcher MAKE THEM MOVE FROM THE TRAIN before putting up his baton? You can clearly see at 3:08 that the dispatcher was doing his job wrong because he should have put his baton up AFTER the girls had moved and the guard should've not closed the doors so that the accident wouldn't've happened. So it was Janet's, the dispatcher's and the guard's fault.

The dispatcher will blame herself for that for the rest of her life, and it isn’t her fault, it was that blonde woman’s fault because of she fell and dropped her on the floor and she died and I used to work on the railway. The train was clear when the workers was given, so this wasn't her fault. The dispatcher can only be in hot water here because she began to walk away before the train was cleared. She should've kept an eye out on the girls and told them to clear off up until the train doors are closing and left the platform fully in the train station there are many more important things to notice and learn from in this morning and night and all many people could pick up from it was the sound of the engine, wow! Love the way all the train spotters accidentally pushed on like there experts in the field of linesman she was trying to tell her to move back, and she was pushed accidentally by her. It was her fault all along. Always stand back from the moving train, always stand behind the yellow line why did a train sound like a Desiro Alice was trying to tell Janet to move back, and she was pushed accidentally by Janet. It was Janet's fault all along

3:45 Dispatch irregularity. Should've stayed and observed.

YOU DARN KIDZ CAUZING DELAYZ AND KILLING EACH OTHER

Dispatch irregularity. Dispatchers should always watch their train out until it is off the platform to avoid incidents like this. Although in my time doing this job i can tell you that even with the whistle warnings and vocal warnings people will forever do silly things.

Everyone who says it’s not the dispatchers fault is wrong, you have a duty of care until the train has departed the station, especially as you know the girls are drunk and are misbehaving it’s better to be safe and watch instead of just leaving them to it 🙄

3:38 OOF

3:36 MURDER!!

4:25 Is the annoucement on SWT (now SWR) even meant to be a real annoucement, or an FCC announcement delibrately taken out of context for dramatic effect?

Watch from 1:10

It was not the dispatcher fault it's the woman fault they should listen.

IF shisa kanko were the industry standard here, i very much doubt this incident would have occurred. As an ex RO2 i stood and watched trains out of the platforms until the tail was past the ramp, but because there is no rigid working practice in the UK ( shisa kanko ) i can see why the occasional 'slip' happened. i witnessed the most idiotic behavior from rail passengers, example: the time some 'suit' who couldn't get to the station on time to be sure of catching his train, missed it, but rather than wait for the next one, he ran along the platform and jumped through an open door droplight - his legs were momentarily dangling out of the window as the train was picking up speed. Someone must have pulled the fool inside, but these are the kinds of mindless idiocy people will do on public transport. In my working experience, train travellers are about the worst for this behaviour followed by bus/coach passengers. ( i was also a PCV driver, so i encountered the public on this job too ) Btw, there SHOULD have been a gaurd on the train who would have watched his train as it departed - i did not note one in this re enactment.

This is why we need platform edge doors.

Lol how tf is there a 700 motor when this is a fucking 317? Jesus christ if you're gonna do a documentary, then be realistic..

And that's also why Drunks should be allowed to trvael on trains at any time

Im tiny and yet i cant even fit through the little holr

This isn’t anyones fault. Being drunk means your bodily reactions are slower and not as good as sobre reactions. The dispatcher tried his very best, but we all make mistakes. I feel bad for everyone ❤

Why was the 317 making Desiro sounds (the first train)

is it me or does that class 317 sound like a 350

The dispatcher will blame himself for that for the rest of his life, and it isn’t his fault, it was that blonde woman’s fault because of Alice died

3:30 That dispatcher cocked up by leaving the train during its departure.

3:47 RU-vid captions: oh

I know it would cost tens of millions and would probably cause delays if they broke down, but I really think train station platforms should have gates for the train doors to line up with. It would be especially effective on the underground, Japan has used this safety feature for decades.

I'd like to see a behind the scenes

RU-vid captions: oh

It’s obviously fake, it’s a desiro Motor on a 317

I wonder if this is based on the incident that happened up in Liverpool?

That's way u stand behind the Platform Edge when there's a fast Train passing and when a train is departing. When I'm older I wanna be a train driver and I hope nothing like this happens to me whenim driving

I feel sorry for the dispatcher because I think it’s the drunk girls fault personally but he should have watched the full train out and the guard should have never closed the doors whiles there where infront of the yellow line

3:27

It happens on trains with guards!

Why does this 317 sound like a desiro

This is both of there faults as the dispatcher has a platform responsibility to safely dispatch the train he should make sure no one is leaning against the train then dispatch and supervise the departure

Nancy from EastEnders

4:28 Standing in the wrong place to dispatch on platform 1 at Richmond

Is that Welwyn Garden City station?

317 is a rude train

3:34 Siemens Desiro sounds on a 317? What madness is this?

Oh my home station Richmond

i guess and i now know that the ds at the fcc station is the same guy at the swr one

THIS IS A CLASS 317 ITS GOT A DESIRO MOTOR also how did the guy Dispatcher in the SWR station know the sound of the train he wasnt there at first great western station

Isn’t it weird that the class 319 sounds like class 700 or 450?

Replay the video frame-by-frame at 3:34.

Dispatch should stay there until the train leaves the platform

That Nancy from eastenders

(Public server Stepford central)

tbh this instance shows failures from the guard & dispatcher, the dispatcher & guard should have done more to get them behind the yellow line,

Is this from a TV show?

if they weren't acting this way this would have never happened

Being that hammered and being at the train station is just dumb.

can't they just put platform doors on the stations

Did this really happen like a passenger fell down on the railway tracks

Why does a 317 sound like a SW desiro

4:00 Why is the guard not looking of the window?

What station was that at it said about a service to kings Lynn but that wasent Cambridge I could tell. It's a bit wierd what station was it.?

What’s with the c2c brand

Don’t tell me this was real cause if it was that’s really not a thing you want to see on camera??!!!!

What would you experience Falling through the gap tho?

3:37 kill

It SERVES THEM RIGHT for messing around by train!

Why does the train sound like a desiro 353

That blonde women Is so immature

Is this real?

Really and truly the driver should look before departing the fore the blonde is innocent.

3:36 die

shorely that dispatcher should be arrested for not observing a train and just giving up telling to tell the woman’s to get away from the train. I also hate the sound of her fallling in the gap 3:38

silly fux
