after a 2 year study,
the conception that people who had a few over the limit would slowly wander nearer to train tracks when they were waiting for a train and fall onto the tracks appears to be untrue,
the study group of data scientists at the West Japan Railway Company have found that ninety percent of falls are the result of people in a drunken stupor, getting up from a bench they were sitting on and walking straight off the platform, only ten percent of drunks gradually drifted towards the ledge, while an outstanding majority briskly walked off the ledge as if they knew exactly where they were going, the results of course surprised everyone, after reviewing the results, JR West is now considering a sweeping reorientation of all platform benches, they have already rolled out a few testing sights to see if a drop on falls can be measured, incidents involving people falling off the platform have been on the rise in recent years, which is what prompted the study, according to the MILT, in 2013 there were 221 incidents, a figure that has doubled over the last 10 years and of that, alcohol-related incidents rose 4-fold, I wonder if British Rail or what ever it is now called might be interested in these results?
