The doors closed before I could get onto the train at Ringwood today (5.18 to Belgrave)
Someone in front of me stuck their hand between them so they would open again, but had his hand squished. Then he pressed the button and the doors didn't come open again (Have they stopped doing this now to speed up the trains?)
Yesterday I witnessed it happen aswell, where 3 of us with our bikes got off to rode to the last carriage, but only 2 of us made it on. He pressed the button and the train took off without him.

And every time I caught the train home from Ringwood last week it was late.
What gives?

hey, yer, both trains had stopped. there was a few ambulances, fireengines and police. At the start there was atleast 20 people crowding around, where im guessing the body (or whatever it was) was located. then all the pasengers were let out around a hour later. then they started those buses.

im trying to find something on like a news website. but nothing.

If you're gonna commit suicide, at least do it in private. Train drivers and onlookers shouldn't have to deal with the trauma of seeing someone die in such a brutal way :(

How about seek help instead?
You can't be serious. Having friends and knowing people who have gone through Depression, it is known that the hardest part is seeking for help. People think no one can help them and it that they will be able to deal with it.
Which is impossible to deal with. It's really about the awareness of friends/family/community that can help these people overcome depression
