At approximately 0130 this morning the last Chesham train was travelling between Chorleywood and Chalfont & Latimer when a passenger who was smoking between the carriages on the train slipped and fell onto the tracks while the train was moving at 50mph. He was subsequently dragged to Chalfont & Latimer and decapitated.
I was on this train and it was a very strange experience.
I know nobody on this forum is stupid enough to do such a thing, but this just shows how dangerous messing around between carriages really is. If you ever think it might be a bit of fun, or if you need a cigarette, please think again.
Had this guy waited 10 more minutes he'd still have been with us now and nobody would have had to suffer the awful consequences of his stupidity.
My condolences to the man's family and friends.
