a guy jumped in front of the train entering edgecliff station (bound for bondi). He "stuck" to the front for a bit, then

slid down & underneath.. train stopped after 2 carriages had entered the platform.

the surprise was how much people just sorta stood around. Train driver gets on the phone. People on the train

just sat there (they couldn't get off I guess without a decision on the doors). Train didn't back up. Station staff took

ages to come down. Two women just sat looking traumatized. No sign of cops or ambulances 15+ minutes. I didn't

particularly feel like hanging around to see what was left, so headed to the buses.

I guess the lesson is that if you want to end things this way, don't expect medical attention for a good half an hour

if it doesn't fully work out..

i could be wrong. but i doubt anyone who jumps infront of a train would be very interested in seeking medical attention. kinda goes against the whole "killing yourself" thing lol

on another note, i had the same thing happen at bondi station less then 2 yrs back. sum bloke sitting casually on d bench waiting for the train then as the train approached the station, he launched himself infront of it

Oh my gosh thats messed up...

A friend works for the railways dealing with the report for exactly this and you would be amazed at how often this happens really. Almost on a daily basis just around Sydney, i seen a guy jump of the overwalk bridge at Lidcombe station directly into the path of an oncoming train about 6 months ago.

I feel sorry for the ppl who have to see that sort of thing :(

Whilst doing some work transfer for EDI rail I heard a ton of stories like that, they told me its not uncommon people waiting on a bend then launch themselves out in front of the them.

Had to clean some kangaroo off the front and underneath of a few Loco's during my 10 weeks there. Big chunks of bloody fur everywhere on the axles.

pretty messed up indeed.

similar thing happened prob 4 years ago at merrylands train station, the idiot tried to cross the tracks by jumping down from the platforms and yeah, got owned. serves him right for trying to cross. cops & ambo's came in prob 10minutes, trains were terminated and had to get a cab/bus/lift home

Man that's crazy... I even had a dream I died last night, that was bad enough!

lol that bullshiet dude......

apparently i read up that in dreams...an individual actually never dies......

and i kinda agree...ive dreamed of dying...EXPERIENCES....but at the end of it.......you just either wake up or just some how get out of the situation.

anyhow dude......sorry to hear......that wouldve been a big mess......

ive seen a Suicide in Newtown Railway Station... an Emo or Gothic guy hung himself on the frames above the railway lines..... not a good site at all....

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
