Unfoutunately we get a lot of this at this time of year in the last 24 hours I have had one attempted suicide at my station and one fatality at a near by station
Any way I hope you feeling better soon

I bet. It's got to be something pretty serious for anyone to contemplate chucking themselves in front of a train, but I do feel sorry for the train drivers who probably suffer quite a bit of trauma if they see it all happen.

esp if they've got a hangover like yours this morning, god sounds hellish.

I once fell asleep in a little chef toilet after a bike rally the night/morning before.
Couldn't understand why staff were laffing at me when I eventually emerged.......I'd fell asleep with head resting on chrome toilet roll holder and I had deep impression of short fat guy with tray in my temple.

Quality! :lol:

I'm feeling a bit betterer now. Just has a nice chicken korma with some pilau rice.

A couple of more anadins and I'll be off down the pub at 5pm I reckon. :D

Ant, you know im Mr Popular anyway. :lol:
Tel you what though, its brilliant for getting rid of all the people coming up and asking SFQ's.

My department's do yesterday as well, all those trains that you saw stopped in london, meant that it took me 3 hours to get from colchester to ipswich. So I was hungover and freezing my butt off on the platform, until they found a couple of prehistoric buses to ferry us to ipswich.

Mind you, I was at a retirement **** up in gwent couple weeks back. I'd planned what train i was catching, booked a taxi from the pub, to get me there 20 minutes early, enough time for a coffee and a smoke before the cardiff to portsmouth 2hrs:45min journey. Now anyone whose done this trip will know, it's a stopping train until salisbury.

So, taxi picks me, takes me to newport station, at 8:45. Train leaves at 9:10. Plenty of time. Buy an egg sarnie, a muffin and a black coffee. How i did this is beyond my, i'm bollox'd. phone my other half up, and chat to her for 5 minutes, then go for a pee. Loads of people in there, a cubicle is free, i sit down, for some reason. This is where i remained until 3am, when my missus rings me to see where i am, i only fell asleep! No trains for 3 hours! I went searching for a 24 hour cafe, there i stayed until 6!
