Train driving is soon going to become an ultimate in stressful jobs, everytime the train goes under an over pass or past a station or rail crossing, the driver is going to be worried something is going to happen!

Totally different, I wouldn't expect to see have people jump in front of you while you're driving. Cops, soldiers, ambo's, firies, SES all sign up knowing that they may have to deal with deceased persons. A train driver shouldn't have to.

I agree. i think suicide is a selfish act and it causes soooo much pain on the people left behind. A train driver should not "expect" to see something as horrible as someone ending it at the expense of the train driver.

not always at a overpass either so putting cages would solve it

ADMIN - Can someone please remove the recent off-topic posts to a different thread (then delete this one). Discussion on suicide by train doesn't belong here.
