Someone got hit by a train in the city loop. Info I have is that it was an Urban Explorer.

As a matter of interest man do you have the name of said urban explorer. Because early info I had also suggested it was someone in particular but then they turned up very much alive.

Hope it wasn't an explorer.

I had the impression it was quite difficult to get in there undetected these days, they normally shut the trains down very quickly but that seems not to have been the case this time...

There's never a safe time to be in a confined space with 45 tonnes of train and no where to go. Humans don't compress well.

Very sad news, driver, station staff, first responders, families, they're all going to be affected by this.
Stay safe. Don't do dumb stuff...

I don't have much info that I can say other than they had a camera and a coroner's report is being prepared.

Anyone got an update on this?

I'm waiting on the coroner's report. But now I've heard third hand that they're not sure it was an urbexer.
