On the underground...
... in Barcelona.

There was a train at the platform, but not the one I wanted, so I was waiting for the next one.
There was a drunk homeless guy on the platform somewhere but I'd given up watching him in favour of studying the map of the underground system.
As the train started to pull out, I look up and realised the drunk had propped himself up by leaning against the back end of the now moving train. He did a strange sort of pirouette as his leaning spot disappeared from under him, and promptly fell straight onto the track.
I rushed over and, along with another passenger, pulled him up from the track seconds before the next train entered the station.

Shat. Myself.

Probably not as much as the homeless dude, but then I'm not sure he was 100% aware of what had happened.

Length? About 6 carriages I think.
(Air-conditioned BTW, why the fuck can't London have that?)

London Underground aircon
There's nowhere for the heat to go in the deep tunnels. Some of the sub-underground lines are getting new trains in a couple of years, which will have air con. The deep lines (Jubilee etc) just have no space for it, nor can they get rid of the heat.

what line(s)
was this on? the only places I can think of where more than one line passes through the same platform don't actually take underground trains - they are normal, short-distance trains, which have to travel a short time underground.

Jeez, I don't know
I was merely a wide-eyed tourist over for the weekend.
Could well have been a regular train I guess. Time blurs the memories.
