Suicide on the train line causing train cancellations on West Coast line between Wigan and Preston. I don't know how I should be thinking about this.
I'm sorry for the suicide victim but also think it's hard on the driver who sees the victim about to be hit bit can't do anything. Apparently it often causes them so much mental damage they can't work on the trains again.
Then there's the utterly minor inconvenience of sitting for 2 hours on the station. For the. Next train home.
Then there's the fact I've been through this twice before, in one week about a month ago! What is it about the area between Wigan and Preston? Apparently it's a bit too common in that area.
And finally, why can't we as the 6th biggest economy in the world give better mental health services so these suicides are much less common?
As you can tell I'm kind of annoyed and sympathetic with everyone concerned. Hence my question about how to behave and think about this. What is the correct human response?
