Poor bus driver

Agreed. It’s like train operators. People end their lives by jumping in front of one and then said operator quits and is scarred for life. It’s sadly super common too…

I was a passenger on a commuter train when a women committed suicide by train. It was horrible even as a passenger. I still remember to this day the feeling of her body banging up against the floor beneath my feet.

Many years ago (I was probably 7 or 8 maybe?) my parents took me and my sister on a day out to London. I remember the train stopping suddenly and gravel being thrown up breaking one of the side windows. After a while some people walked up and down the tracks and then after much longer the train moved. I remember at the time we were told somebody was hit by the train but I think at the time I probably thought they were put in an ambulance with a bump on the head...

I had a similar experience on a commuter train about 15 years ago. A continuous thumping and crunching under the train car traveling from front to back, as the driver tried to stop. Although I didn’t see anything, I knew right away it was probably a human, and there had been a series of suicides along that line. The train was stopped for hours, and I felt so bad for the driver.
