It has been reported that there were over 1500 "near misses" when people have walked over railway lines. There are videos of parents slowly walking with children, people lying down with photos taken etc. My dad was a train driver and had a man walk in front of the drain he was driving ( the man did not survive). I also knew of similar incidents affecting other train drivers. Nobody seems to consider the impact on the mental and physical health of the train staff . Do you think people should be prosecuted to a high degree ?

I heard someone on the radio talking about how he had struggled to be the driver in a suicide case.
He suffered for years and his pain was so deep and so long lasting.
I suppose if you are thinking of suicide you are only thinking of yourself. He was lucky in that the family of the person who died also tried to support him and he was grateful for that.
I do hope he one day finds peace.
