You appear to have bigger problems than anything I've said here.

I think women do have bigger problems than your sexism, however, ti's your sexism that i'm dealing with now.

I'd like a source for your assertion that 95% if internet forum users are male please.

as long as it isn't on a fucking bus to helston.

On the Australian TV news 'Goodge' was pronounced as Goo-jee. As if it were a town in rural NSW.

I suggest you go away and decide what your actual gripe with me is.......

Is it a) because I said it was woman who left the pushchair and not the man? Oh no!

Or is it b) because I mistakenly refereed to you as "he"? Shock horror!

Or maybe it's c) there is no actual "gripe", you're just being an arse.

Why can it not be both and more?

This is classic bungle, fail to address the actual bungling on which he's been called, and take issue with those calling him on it cos they're just 'being an arse'.

Didn't I have "dealings" with you in that other thread? And making up lies and ridiculous accusations IS being an arse.

It's C.

Pot.....kettle.........black.

You people need to take a long hard look at how you conduct yourselves on here.

 

[Gromit]

That's not what they're there for. They're for airflow reasons.

Lol. My TFl friend will laugh when I show him this.

They are there for driverless train reasons. When the whole network is automatic all stations will be like this although stations with large bends will have something slightly different.

why I am I only allowed to consider one thing you've posted to be sexist?

I guess now I've identified as female, I have to choose, because bungle assumes I can only hold one idea in my head at a time

Really?

The Jubilee line only has it to separate the station and tunnel air flow. There's no need for it above ground!

They were designed primarily to reduce the movement of air caused by emergency ventilation fans which activate in event of a fire, or under test conditions.

Yes really. His words just now: They are called PED doors and that the jubilee line has special vents for the airflow.

The same air flow that could cause something like a buggy to be drawn onto the tracks as a train departs?

Well that's not what they say over at RailUK, and they are people that would know. It's not what it says on Wikipedia either. And PED just means Platform Edge Doors.

You mean like one some idiot just left laying around with no brakes on? Like that you mean?

 

[Gromit]

Anyhoo:

Is the woman stupid and why:

1. She should have sent someone up the platform to wave the train down and send someone else to alert station staff. So that the live rail is turned off before anyone jumped down.
We can forgive her this because of panic though. She was lucky the driver saw her and did break anyway as that platform has long approach.

2. She should have looked before jumping on the track. She doesn't look either left or right.

3. She goes back for her shopping which is right by the live rail and without looking up the track again. My friend says she is soo extremely lucky that electricity didn't arc from the rail through her as she was in range for it to do so. She must have had rubber soled shoes.
She could have saved her kid and died for the sake of £40 worth of groceries or something.

 

[skyscraper101]

A little foolish for bothering with the shopping maybe but not stupid for saving the kid. I'd say heroic.

She was probably in shock a bit and not thinking clearly.

LOL. Some people on a internet forum said so and so it must be right. Wiki isn't always right either.

The management came up with all sorts of justifications for them doors (as they were the first lot and they went a bit to town on the project) which will get bandied around as gospel as its official sources said but the clear and simple reason is to keep people off the track and as part of automated train systems.

The jubilee never had any problem with air flow. But yes the new ventilation system with the aid of the PED can now be used to help divert air in certain directions to help control fire as an added bonus.

My friend said to mark this: the whole network will have PED eventually and it has sod all to do with air flow.

Then how come they are only installed in the deep level Tube stations, and the surface level stations don't have them? I think your friend is having you on.

The DLR doesn't have them either, and they are driverless right now.

As for RailUK, it has people on there who are railway staff so I'm quite sure they know what they are talking about. And Wki is usually pretty reliable about such matters.

The most intelligent of us can be stupid under pressure / emergencies.
Some idiots can keep there heads in an emergency and apply common sense (which isn't common) to situations.

I tend to be clinically calm in a crisis and then a mess afterwards. I can understand not everyone else can do this.

The clue is in the name:

Docklands LIGHT Railway.

Light Trains the regs don't require them for driverless trains.
Heavy trains do.
