Valentine's day was very interesting...It's amazing how much fuss is made about this one day, but it's also sad that some people feel incredibly alone and this day enhances that.
Literally, 2 mins walk from me is a railway station, probably the most useless in all of England as all the trains run straight through and it is never manned. On the bus approaching home from uni, i see police, ambulance and fire brigade crawling all over the place......whatever had happened, had only just happened...I imagined a train had derailed or a car had been hit on the track, but it turns out 2 fire engines, 4 police cars and 2 ambulance vehicles were the standard response for a "one under" as they say. The unloaded passengers all seemed abit miffed and a nearby shop owner who was near enough to hear expressed his sorrow at the "poor man/lady" who had apparently waited on the bridge and jumped in front of the train that was never going to be able to stop....What a desperate state to be in to do that!!
