    Person clipped by train & incident apparently not reported immediately

    yes the driver admitted it, all I was trying to find out was that if they could be prosecuted as its similar to hit and run but it seems not.

    I can genuinely guarantee I know the driver knew they'd clipped the passenger, it wasn't the drivers fault the passenger got hit but the driver did nothing until his consconscience kicked in

    Person clipped by train & incident apparently not reported immediately

    Firstly it wasn't me that got hit by the train, secondly I never said it was the drivers fault I said he got was he deserved for not reporting it. thirdly the driver should sound his horn if someone is too close to make them move, if they don't move then yes he should stop otherwise he's not...

    Cant say how I know as the drivers appeal is still on going and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be discussing. I'm not going to get into a petty argument over the train hitting the passenger you both know what i meant.

    Hopefully theres someone on here who can answer my query. A train driver entering a station clipped a passenger who was too close to the edge of the platform.

    Shows you that the Facebook group isn't reliable - person slipped off the platform onto the track and is currently in hospital, according to the Chronicle. He definately jumped, he ended up with minor facial injuries but the main thing is that the Driver is ok and back at work.

    I think you'll find the Drivers won't talk to him because of the trouble he caused last year. He claims to have a "Friend" in Nexus house who passes on the info and gets him Depot visits.

    Tyne n Wear Metro strike!

    What proof do you have that a Metro Driver earns £37,000 a year? You don't know the facts behind this strike and are spouting drivel. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- But NEXUS isn't their employers it DB Regio so nothing to do with the public sector and their pay freeze. If you...

    Spoke to a cleaner yesterday, they get free travel to and from work. However they want the same pass that nexus and DB staff get, why should nexus\DB fund there travel when not at work? they should be asking Churchill their employers to pay for it.

    These up coming strikes does anyone know what there about? surely it can't just be money? As for the cleaners they work for churchill so why should nexus or DB give them free travel when not at work? and as for the door buzzers on the refurbished trains sorry folks I quite like them :lol:

    my understanding is that its a passenger counter, it counts the number of passengers boarding and eventually therell be no need for the data collectors.
