[–] wscholermann@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago (3 children) Is anyone else paranoid of accidentally stepping in the gap between the train and the platform? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] landsharkkidd@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago Always, and I'm always so scared to drop something down there too! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) YES! A couple of weeks ago I witnessed a guy get caught between the train and the platform - dead before he stopped spinning. I'm extra careful now stepping into the train carriage. West Richmond station is the WORST! Huge gaps in the middle of each carriage as the platform is curved. I only get on at the ends of the carriage at that station - and the size of the gap still scares me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago Well that’s horrible. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wscholermann@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) He was spinning?
