Rather bad grammar is in that article "Unbelievable ... cop holds head in hands but man survived"

Is it me or do the people out Southall not seem to grasp the concept of boarding a train, you do it using the Doors, not the bloody wheels.

Notice the two trackworkers who arnt interested in the slightest?

Hmm, I notice it says ANOTHER. He must have done it before.

He must be a professional

I saw it in the paper yesterday. He bounced off one train only to be hit by another apparently.

I'm sorry? One man tries to run from police and you say all people from Southall try to board trains via the wheels? I'd like to know what people from Southall think of that. I hear all people from loughborough are idiots...

Looking at the photos, it initially appears the trackworkers aren't interested. Truth be known, they'd most likely accepted the blokes fate moments before the first impact and turned away to minimise personal truma
In any track workers contract, you won't find a bit stating that you must chase trespassers of all descriptions along the track in an attempt to apprehend them. So tbh, the fact that they were even close is above and beyond the call of duty
Another clue when looking at he photo is that the blokes pictured were S&T who simply do S&T and nothing else, well built pway men get dispatched for heavy jobs
