Can you control this train?

I'd be careful about identifying too closely with TVC

That's what was bothering me

I'm more worried about the men in white coats

No seriously be more worried about @The Velvet Curtain VC in a Nurses uniform

 

[TVC]

...under his drysuit with an air tank on his back

In a drysuit nobody knows you're wearing stockings and suspenders eh Rocky?

Crikey - this train is well off the rails

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I can't see it. The Drivers must be on strike again or something

.... and if you move your head fast enough you can make the train stop

Git....you made me dizzy and the train didnt stop

Try this.

When you are watching it turn your head from side to side. Every time your head moves the train changes direction.

or look at the left-hand edge - the train is going into the tunnel. Now look at the tunnel mouth - the train is coming out of the tunnel.
Or at least it is for me.

Tried it & quickly decided it's something best not tried after half a bottle of mulled wine

at a company event once they had this tunnel you walked through where the sides revolved studdedwith LEDs looking like the night sky. Really weird effect, but after a few paces the "stars" suddenly stopped and the path revolved, and you quite literally had to grap the handrail to stop falling over. Shut your eyes and all was well. Open again, revolving stars - no problem, I know what's happening - just concentrate - 2 seconds later, whirly stars and falling against the handrail. Bizarre - you just couldn't fight it. I'd not even had a drink

Mornington Crescent !

Charing Cross - although the image is reversed.

The Camera Obscura tourist attraction up by Edinburgh Castle has a similar tunnel. It really is disconcerting having the path 'revolve' underneath your feet.

Here's another great optical illusion.

Which direction is the dancer spinning? Can you make her spin in the opposite direction?
