I entered a train at Glen Eden with 3 friends. Even then it was already over-crowding. From Avondale onwwards, it just got so jammed packed more still. After that, the train had no choice but to past people. Grabed a seat in Kingsland, and totally zonked out myself, in an absolute and total deep sleep, from all the body heat, as the carriage was like a sauna, like a match box full of light sticks. Was so damn hot, and massively over-crowded, full of delay stops, took near two hours to get to Britomart, if not more. Exited the Train, at B.M, and collasped from a massive heat stroke, and just blacked out. Was immediately attended to by all sorts of women who were Medics, and was found to have an extremly, dangerously weak and slow pulse rate. Was literally given the Kiss of Life from one of them as they performed mouth to mout ressus on me, cos I was passing in and out of conciousness. 8 Male Abulance staff showed up, my friend stayed with me, as I was transfered to A&E in Akld Hosp. Forever grateful to all those women who acted out as they did at B.M., and my extreme apologies to the poor lady beside me, on the train, whom I was leaning all over, just totally out to it, deeply sleeping, already. Great Service provided Maxx. Way to go!

There's not much the train company can do with numbnuts travellers repeatedly pressing the emergency stop buttons.
