- Our train hit a person who sadly passed instantly.
This happened outside at the exit of the tunnel just before Knebworth.
Location of incident: w3w.co/skirt.notice.oasis
Only the front 1% of this 12 carriage train was sticking out of the tunnel hence almost everyone came to the First Class section to use their phones to inform their loved ones of the delay to the service.
The train eventually called at Knebworth and terminated at Stevenage.
My deepest respect to the poor driver,who may never be able to drive again after this incident, and to the emergency services who have to attend to what's left of the deceased person. God bless them all. 🙏
The poor driver, I feel so sorry for him I can hear in his voice that he sounds very upset, must have been very traumatic.
Some cases drivers are so traumatised they quit
@@thetrainhornmaster9439 Yeah, it's horrible
very brave for the driver to keep strong and make that Announcement along with keeping Very Professional,
yup indeed
You can hear the shakiness in his voice
Incredible professionalism from all involved. RIP.
I’ve dealt with numerous incidents like this, sadly and unfortunately. As Osiris has pointed out, the person that decides to end life like this are not in a good place at all, often looking for a way out. They are not thinking straight, they can’t, so despite it being inconsiderate to others you still can’t call it a selfish thing. Of course it’s very traumatic for others including the driver etc., but again, the person is in a very dark place and not thinking realistically or about others. It’s all very tragic.
It’s not as selfish if they’re by themselves…but if you’re like that girl who took her child with her and jumped in front of a train I feel like you’re another level of evil and selfish. How can you take an innocent life along with you??
@@potato1084 She only wanted to be with her child when they entered heaven together. They are both angels now.
@@JenniferLovelace123 to be honest, throwing your child infront of a train regardless if you are committing suicide or not is in my mind murder
@@JenniferLovelace123 suicide that involves bringing anyone else with you isn't suicide anymore, it's murder-suicide
@@grassytramtracks In the mind of the suicidal parent (usually the mother), they don't want their child, who they love dearly and who depends on them entirely, to have to face life without them, especially a life the suicidal parent has deemed to be unfair/cruel/dark/etc. I wouldn't want to be a child of a parent that commited suicide when I was young; imagine the tremendous guilt, wondering if you were part of the problem.
In the 20+ years I’ve worked on the railways it never seizes to amaze me how selfish the travelling public can be during incidents like these. Just the moans you heard on this video when the relief driver informs the passengers that the train would be coming out of service when it gets to the next station.
Each day humanity never ceases to dissapoint me
Sadly we live in an entitled me me me society. So many people are full of their own self importance as if the world revolves around them. They dont care about anyone else.
Most people though I've noticed moreso in the UK seem to have had a complex of entitlement develop with no actual decency or realisation that they aren't the only person on the planet. A delay is a delay, but instead of pity whining, people are going home worse off in the emergency staff and rail staff and it's best to realise it won't be you having to pick up body parts from underneath the bogies
Really feel sorry for the driver and the poor person that must have been that desperate to do that. Cruel world.
I give my condolences and respect to the family of the person affected and the driver of the Class 700 involved in this unfortunate incident. Im glad that the staff involved used enough effort and professionalism and the person who got struck is now in a better place… Shout out to the driver for his bravery and confidence to make the announcements!
As a driver myself, I've unfortunately been in the exact same scenario where someone jumped right in front of the train.
It's never easy to make the announcement, which is why massive congratulations are in order to the driver. He let everyone know what the issue was and he did it professionally.
You can have hear in his voice how shocked and how upset he was best wishes for him
As an ex train driver my thought's go with the driver, i know how this must of affected him and hope he was able to get all the help he needed to get through this and of course to the family of the deceased person who lost their life.
It is always sad when this happens. there was a jumper near Horsham yesterday and it caused major delays and cancellations on the southern network.
The poor driver, respect to him. The poor people having to clean up the dead body and the mess also. So sad.
This is why I want to #keeptheguardonthetrain
GD answers questions and patrols the train,while driver focuses on communication with SG.
agree! when someone falls sick and needs help we can't let the driver know :(
@@BrianSu Yes you can. Thameslink trains run without guards anyway
Rough to hear the driver’s announcements knowing what just happened. Glad the relief driver came. No way the original driver should continue after that.
Poor driver - he sounds incredibly shaken.
This is so sad. I want to be a train driver when I am a bit older but its people ending their lives on the railway that I am worried about. People who want to end their lives this way shouldn't because it affects the driver, the people having to clean up the mess, the passengers, the network, their family and friends. There is support out there that they can reach out too for help!
Don't worry about that...as sad as it is, it happens. Follow your dream mate
@@youwot2430 Thanks i appreciate it
@@SouthWestRailEnthusiast you can't control it, don't let it stop you being a train driver, there's no point worrying about it
I once worked for British Rail I had to attend a fatality even 31 Years Later I still hear the train driver crying, I still smell the smell I still see the images this will haunt the driver until he dies
People shaking their heads and sighing when the driver said the train will be out of service at the next stop are just horrible. Someone has died and they care about having to get a bus instead of a train. Selfish.
Something that is just as selfish is jumping in front of a train
I know what its like to feel suicidal and i can tell you. When you do, you arent even in control of your own thoughts of feelings. Your brain is. Im glad i can say i no longer have any mental issues. But it really sucks..
@@AnatolyDyatolovunderstandable, but also not a helpful attitude to have. Someone who wants to end their own life will do it regardless of how you think about them, but I think people moaning about a train being taken out of service (as it is an active crime scene after such an event) is plain self-centred.
This sort of thing actually stops a lot of train drivers careers. I work with a guy on the buses who is an ex train driver because he had two fatalities and couldn’t carry on 😭
Yeah it's tragic, not their fault.
@@BrianSu so many gaps in mental health services. Some people are so desperately unhappy they can see no other way out. RIP to the deceased. Thoughts and prayers to their loved ones ❤️❤️
Poor driver, and all those people shaking their heads to his announcement at the start must not have feelings, poor dude's just smashed a train into someone on the tracks and you can just hear how upset he sounded!
My thoughts are with the family. Very sad to hear about what has happened.
2:50 It's actually mind blowing how the train has just hit someone and everyone is just on their phones as if nothing has happened and their only reaction is them tutting when they find out the train is going out of service... Imagine being the family of the person who was hit watching this and seeing how insensitive people are.
Because his his damn fault he jumped. He decided to piss everyone off
@@king_guest_official lovely attitude
@@iTrulx yas 💅
they're going on their phones to text about why the train was delayed. What tf do you want them to do, hold a funeral on the train? Help clear the mess?
@@king_guest_officialtypical. have some decency.
This video is definitely heartbreaking, i can tell the driver was definitely having a hard time
People sighing because the train is coming out of service at the next station. Tells you everything you need to know about some people's level of empathy.
Yep. Some people are very dry.
Omg this is so sad. Can’t imagine what the driver must be going through incredibly sad 😢. Mental health is a serious issue.
yes they relieved him immediately even though the rest of the journey took only over a min to complete.
My Dad was Driving he is on Thameslink
@@FORMULA1NEWS. I hope he is doing okay now 😢
They shouldn't of sacked him the person walked on the tracks illegally how is he going to stop the train at high speeds it was a unavoidable accident
@@declangaming24 I don’t believe the driver did get sacked
that poor driver you can here him shaking in his voice
Poor driver. Thoughts are with the victims family 😭
May they rest in peace
Deepest resepct to the driver for having to go through
The tragic bit of needing a relief driver to get the original driver help ASAP
I feel sorry for the poor people and it must have been very traumatic for the driver
Such a shame why people get so depressed to end their lives. Whatever way they do it. It must be severly traumatic for them to get to that point. I'm sure we all have & do suffer with deppression at some point in our lives But, to get to the point of taken their own life like this or in any way must be extremely bad. SAD, VERY SAD!!!! for them & their closest friends & family to know about it. We say there is help out there for them. But, maybe the help is simply not enough emotional support can help. But, it is knowining the signs & dealing with them fast But, many in this poor state of mind hide it very well until it's too late. SADLY!!! we loose too many people to suicide almost everyday not just celebrities ( music business people aswell). But, everyday none celebrity people to this HORRIBLE thing. My deepest condolences to this person's family & very closest friends. & it is caused by usually the STUPID TIGHTFISTED so called giverment forcing benifits off people that are either already out of work or disabled with already long term issues as it is. This country STINKS!!!! when the rich get richer ( TIGHT B******S!!! ) & the poor get poorer No wonder many end up on the streets in the cold. I know many do stupid things with their money but, the extreme high cost of what is supposed to be living is pure ROBBERY & SELFISHNESS!!! No wonder this country is in such a BLOODY MESS!!!! ( sorry for my profanities) But, it really gets under my skin & i end up using some profanities. Just to get a very tiny bit of anger & stress out. As inam sure we all do at times ( most times). Once again deepest condolences to closest friends & family of this person's sad departing from life.
That passenger in the grey top needs to have a word with himself. Shaking his head then groaning when they announced the train will be coming out of service. Is he actually aware of exactly what has just happened?? Fucking shame on him!
Maybe he's shaking his head because he felt sorry for the victim, i.e. feel bad that this has happened and not as a reaction to the delay.
@@BrianSuI sincerely hope that is the reason as the alternative is simply disgusting.
Was it a suicide or a trespasser wondering the tracks?
Did Patri notched up or did the driver do decide to go? Ha ha ha I’m gonna go a lot faster than the train to go
What happened
The driver sounded very nervous!
Yeah, I think he did well to make an announcement anyway considering hes just hit someone
You wouldn't be talking clearly if the train you were driving hit someone.
How would you be able to cope after just hitting a person on the track? you would be nervous more shock after what happened.
Mate I'll be real he probably witnessed human spaghetti, a sight no one should have to see , the thud as it hits the train, no doubt this Is a 12 car express and was flying at high speed thar person probably looked cartoonists destroyed, that's the WORST thing to ever have to see in real life, no doubt the driver was shaken , it's a shame.
Hi guys can someone tell me what had happened in this incident
in the description, it says this train hit someone who ran upinto the tracks and they passed instantly
The train was delayed severely!
Uh yeah?
I believe the person must’ve crossed the track and didn’t see the train coming
Its Knebworth , not Knebsworth .
Corrected, Thanks :)
Did you see the body/what’s left of it im surprised the train is allowed to carry on
They take it out of service at the next stop and take it to the depot to do investigations
First
Nobody cares if you're first.
Disrespectful
Someone dies and the most important thing is to let everyone know that you commented first. It's already annoying when people just comment first rather than anything of any substance, but here it just comes off really disrespectful
Not needed
Perhaps you should delete that comment
