Won't be a popular (I hardly ever am)

But people who jump under trains. Selfish

I appreciate they are struggling and have had enough but a selfish way to go.

Driver is in bits. That will live with them forever.

Tones of Police, lfb and ambulance in attendance .. when could be helping people who need it

100 people stuck on the track for an hour before they could be safely detrained

All for one person.

I hope the driver can get the help she needs because she was in pieces when she phoned through.

Supervisor was so shaken we had to send one of our staff down as emergency manager to do the stalled train.
I've been that driver, poor girl lay down in front of my train. Me? What could I do? I fortunately was not like the above driver was ok to take it to next station detrain passengers. I just felt so sorry for that girl,my life goes on her family got a knock on the door that changed theirs forever.

This was coming into the platform, the driver wasn't allowed to move had to detrain through the front car

The train behind was stalled for an hour with 100 people onboard

Luckily I suggested we run my mate down and send him up on a north bound to detrain them and take them to the station in the rear to get them out of the situation

Never nice.

Is this the incident at Bexley this morning?
Drove past the station about 10am and emergency services were all over the place

Ok, I have completely and utterly misjudged my posting of the situation.

As posted above today's one hit me more than normal, I struggle with my own mental health and talking is key. However I don't like putting on my wife ATM so yes I let random stuff out here and maybe this one was too close for a lot of people.

To all of them who I offended or jerked horrible memories I apologise.

I won't post on the subject anymore publically..if anyone wants to message privately I will talk about it.

Thank you.

Boiler playing up, lost pressure, over filled, released pressure, working, lost pressure now gauge won’t budge when filling up.

24 years old, time has come for a new boiler.

Try twisting the PRV, it sounds like it's stuck open.

You could always try posting in the mental health thread if you are struggling and need to talk

Are you a gas man? :ROFLMAO:
That worked, and the gauge is working. Not very reactive though so over filled again, quick run round the rads and a few clicks of that PRV again and steady at 2bar. See in the morning again what it says but probably prudent to get a new boiler and my mind has already spent the money - eyes on a baxi one.

It is a hard one. I just think the way the people who throw under trains isnt brave. Just for that driver alone. She has to live with the fact she killed someone for the rest of her life and there was nothing she could do about it

Long ago, my dad saw someone jump in front of a train at Baker Street. All he could think about was the poor driver. What a horrible thing to do to someone else.

Probably not the best choice of words...

Passwords. Parking app I was trying to use today wanted at least 10 characters, at least one upper case, one numeral, and one special character. Didn't specify what a "special character" was. The ones I tried like hyphens were not acceptable. How am I supposed to remember all this stuff?

Yes, Send me your email address and i'll send you the invoice ?

I'd recommend the baxi 800 range depending on house size etc, i think they're the best value for money.

If you need any advice, send me a pm ?

Start whatever your password is with a capital letter, have at least one "a" in it that you replace with an "@" symbol and one "l" or "i" that you replace with a "1". Job done.
