<unlurking> But I did come across one incident where a person slipped between the tracks, one of days during monsoon in Bombay. while changing platforms desi way, i.e instead of using the pedestrian bridge. The local train just passes over him. Most of them at the station freaked out. As soon as the train passes by this person gets up and starts running. A bunch of cops catch this guy and start hitting him. Felt sorry for him. Somedays later I wished I had a camera then or a mobile phone with video recording facility and Internet. Must have got good ratings on youtube. could also have tweeted the incident :P Speaking about trains, train buffs. http://www.seat61.com/ gives you options of doing London to New Delhi via trains. Also, gives you the option of around the world by land and sea. One on my to-do list. regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090
