Would this happen here? http://wtvbam.com/blogs/humor/1411/speeding-amtrak-train-covers-waiting-passengers-in-snow/ Basset Title: Re: Snow and Trains with waiting passengers Post by: John R on March 17, 2017, 14:16:47 No, because the last time we had anything like that much snow was around 35 years ago. I bet the driver enjoyed it though!

OUT OF MY WAY I'M COMING THROUGH...Must have been terrifying for a town like Charlbury....I can picture the locals dropping their banjos, falling to their knees, crossing themselves and praying frantically as the sheep ran for cover! ;D Title: Re: Snow and Trains with waiting passengers Post by: JayMac on March 18, 2017, 10:19:50 Stand in the wrong lineside location at the wrong time, watching a HST passing at speed, and it could be much worse than snow you get covered in.

In scene 1, I rather liked how all the more savvy potential passengers waiting on the platform started moving away from the platform edge in plenty of time - leaving one person out there standing (quite correctly, in theory) just behind the yellow line, and apparently oblivious to what was about to happen ... ;) :D ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
