In most other subyway systems this would be pretty safe in that the third rail is most offen guarded with a kind of protection over it or power comes from an overhead wire. But for the tube this was a pretty dangerous move. One slip and this would be a video on some sub reddit.
Not really, this tube line runs on DC power, so if you just touch one rail you will be fine. You can only be injured if you accidentally touch both power rails, which is quite unlikely.

I worked on one of the UK's railways and removing articles from the track is absolutely saturated with bylaws and regulations. You need a license to be able to remove stuff from the tracks, and you need get the line blocked. It would be so easy to just get a litterpicker and pick it up, but if you do that, say bye to your job.

I thought that was why he leaned over without touching the live track. But what about those videos of commuters falling/being pushed over......how comes they are not electrocuted? Thanks
Aha Richard.... You must be station staff .... No rail is 750 DC .... The rail he is standing over is 250 Dc and the furthest rail ( nearest the wall is 450 Dc ) .
@@kingash85 DC current pulls you towards it ... Meaning if you land on it evenly you can't pull away ... People attempting suicide/ pushed tend to fall with force sliding by the 250Dc middle rail.... Hence why the rail with most current is furthest away from the platform (450Dc).
He should never do that. Ever. That’s dangerous. The rails down there carry a very powerful live current that could mean something horrible if God forbid a human were exposed to it. Serious injury or even death. Those tube trains have communication systems on them that route directly to control centres at each and every station for a reason.
That looked a bit dangerous to me. I don't know for sure if the random object was just a sheet of paper, if there were any metallic layers on top, it could be conductive and gave the conductor an electric shock the moment he picked it up.
Unfortunately now days you would have to shut the whole station down just to get that. Recent health and safety is a load of bollox bring back the old days
This is a very risky retreival, because paper can conduct when it is damp, or even the glue on the paper. I would have insisted that the power be turned off, or at least rubber gloves or an isulated rod be provided. 600V DC can fry you in the 'wrong' circumstances.

Yes, looking at the thumbnail I too just for a second thought someone was stood there holding something like perhaps a coat that had been thrown or dropped on to the track.
A few things wrong with this video: 1) Hi-Vi was not fastened which is required when working on the platforms or tracks 2) Train was not secured i.e it was moving when the poster was retrieved. The train should have stopped and the keys removed. 3) The traction current was still on which could have lead to the staff member being electrocuted
Notice how the lighs switch and look really wierd at 0:06 when he opens the door. I think its a safety feature so the workers know that he left the cab. Idk i just know it look strange
Yeah it’s the lights switching from day running lights to marker lights, marker lights are for when the train is either at the depot or stationary for long times.

You're more likely to die crossing the road.
@@mattaddison1910 They're largely over exaggerated. For a worker to be electrocuted by a live rail is very rare (although a tragedy when it does occur).
There's a video on CZcams showing a London underground worker adjusting a track sensor next to live rails.
I used to work in advertisement, and I used to get this all the time where I would be told by the marketing team where to put the advertisement, and they wanted the advertisement in really really dangerous places where an advertisement should never be.
And a couple of times, I actually had to say that it’s done on paper to not do it
This is called the third rail method
They appear to be less aware of high voltage currents
"high voltage currents" xddd. What is that supposed to mean? 😂
7 years ago . Good lord can you imagine now? Shut the Station. Power down the Network , put a scaffolding up for a few days . Re plaster the wall . Call the police terrorist threat .
Strike for More money safety issues . Hard hats . Risk Assessments . The whole works .
Or they would have just got a long insulated pole and got it from the platform while the train was stopped. Rather than having a guy lean out over the live rails

Nah too Risky Had that paper fell onto the Live rail it might spark a Fire . Risk Assed too Dangerous . Yellow Jackets Hard Hats Fire Marshals . Got to make a meal of it theses days you know .
@@mark-1rc502 Mate I actually work on the railway. You don't know shit. I did the course for working around third rail and as I described is how they would do it
I used to work on platforms, many a time retrieving items with a long litter picker, call signal man get permission and use the picker. I am a train driver now, but what that guy did was so dangerous over the third rail, at the very least if he was going to do that an isolation of the third rail and the train definitely should not be moving with him leaning forward lol. I think they all would of been in depot managers office the next morning.

Lol ok fair enough I just had visions of the Full
HSE monty 😂
the ride of the valkyrie. priceless both
They act like the rails of the London Underground is the forbidden ground.
線路に降りないのは感電の危険があるからですね、
AND THEY SAY FROM THAT DAY HE DISAPPEARED AS MYSTERIOUSLY AS HE APPEARED, SOME SAY WHEN A SMALL THING NEEDS TO BE DONE, HE MIGHT BE THERE OR NOT AT ALL, BECAUSE HE IS PROBABLY AT A NEW JOB.
これ一応三線軌条でしょ…？
And here my dumbass was thinking this was an advertisement to saving people or something 😭😭
Good I got it recommended. My life's full now.
Who else thought there was someone standing with a huge bag in the thumbnail?
Yes, looking at the thumbnail I too just for a second thought someone was stood there holding something like perhaps a coat that had been thrown or dropped on to the track.
Heroic rescue !
A few things wrong with this video:
1) Hi-Vi was not fastened which is required when working on the platforms or tracks
2) Train was not secured i.e it was moving when the poster was retrieved. The train should have stopped and the keys removed.
3) The traction current was still on which could have lead to the staff member being electrocuted
This is a good conductor for not becoming a good conductor. ⚡
In the thumbnail I thought someone was standing on the third rail 🤦🏻
Me too... I thought I could see two arms and two feet/shoes.
@SNOWDROP10NYCTISALSOVERNONBLV no, like every third rail in the entire world, kts on the side, the fourth rail is middle
Notice how the lighs switch and look really wierd at 0:06 when he opens the door. I think its a safety feature so the workers know that he left the cab. Idk i just know it look strange
Yeah it’s the lights switching from day running lights to marker lights, marker lights are for when the train is either at the depot or stationary for long times. On the new underground trains I think they are linked to the door I don’t know but I’ve seen it on other trains with a front entrance service door
For me, I think its related to restricted manual, not sure though
The man has skills, even the Underground
That's so brave of him!
I was honestly waiting for people to clap
