I just pulled the passenger alarm on the London Underground because someone standing next to me collapsed
Turned out that he had only fainted, but now I feel conflicted because the train was stopped for 5 minutes in the station, disrupting the journeys of THOUSANDS of grumpy Londoners.

That was you?
Perhaps you can call my manager to explain why I'm late then.

you did not know he had fainted when he collapsed
HOWEVER , would it not had been better to wait til in a station so that the doctor would not have all that far to come?

The trains keep going to the next station when you pull the alarm

oh, emergency stop but only in stations?

They don't stop UNTIL they're in the station

crap emergency stop then innit

I didn't once say it was an emergency stop

thought thats all there was on the underground
a passenger alarm too?

wonder what happens if you pull both.

would it stop or go into the station?

There is no emergency stop
because stopping underground would cause a lot more problems than needed.

thought they had that red handle thing either behind glass or above the doors
do not use unless in a emergency or get fined 200 quid

most strangers have a reset button down the front of the pants.

i'd say that was the right thing
people don't generally collapse when going about day to day stuff
