£100- posted by Seraphine@Transbian_Arsonists @kouett oh yeah right
i would have thought that the railways would be protected as critical infrastructure (or at least as a "dont go here you fucking idiot" type deal)
@LinaBlue @RinaVolpina @kouett @rail That's more like marine phraseology. UK railway telephone protocol would be to pick up the platform telephone and say something like:
> Anytown signaller.
> This is an emergency call. $role $yourname at $location. Someone has fallen on the tracks at platform $number. Please block the line immediately
Not a railway professional but my partner worked somewhere that did e-learning for Network Rail and that was in their portfolio somewhere!
@LinaBlue @RinaVolpina @kouett @rail oh look a concise example of doing it right:

and a less concise real-world example of doing it wrong:

I am here for the rail industry fighting back against anti-transit propaganda.

British Transport Police aren't really there for anyone's safety, and aren't an important part of the solution to the posed problem, so that was a nice touch.
All undermined when "the board" realizes they can save a few bucks by replacing the human with AI safety agent.
Fun little tidbit; as I was on the train today, it suddenly halted quite rapidly. Few seconds later we get an announcement explaining that there may have been kids sighted along the tracks.
This is one of the busier tracks in the are. Every. Single. Train. Stopped.
It wasn't until it was confirmed -in person- the tracks were clear that we, at low speed initially, continued onwards.
Did the delay suck? Yes.
Did the passengers mind? Compared to the alternative; no.

Sorted
@kouett a friend of a friend made a more accurate version
@kouett Of course, the train driver could still just pass the red signal. Maybe even without stopping briefly at the signal or at least slowing down when passing the magnets.
The system prevents accidents, not madmen.
