    People need to learn there's a reason why you can't stand infront of the yellow line. It's also rather scary when people stand right up to the platform in the game.

    In the game it's a great excuse to get some tones in.

    Unfortunately, most people take the “it won’t happen to me” mentality to this.

    Only has to happen once.

    I've stood at the the approach tunnel entrance on the Tube many a time and been shocked what a small and perfectly aerodynamic little shuttle can do at 25mph. I can't imagine what a 100mph torque-heavy Freightliner would feel like rushing through at a foot away...

    Back sometime ago around 2005 ish I used to stand a wait for the HST’s in Spain to pass through at a crossing, I was standing quite some distance from them and my stomach would still feel their impact, certainly not what you try to get close too

    I managed to find some YouTube videos on the exact crossing so I leave a hyperlink below

    Why you should also keep distance from the track
