I was driving home over Meadowbank Station that night  at about 11:45
and saw all the commotion that presumably this incident had caused.

There were police and ambulance vehicles around the Up station entrance,
as well as police and civilians wandering around the streets nearby. The
road overbridge at the Down end of the platform was partially blocked by
another police vehicle with yet more police and civilians wandering
around. Presumably they were looking for the daring stunt master who, by
all accounts, had run off. As I drove over the bridge I glanced down at
the platform and saw a passenger train still down there, with still more
civilians standing about. Unfortunately, my glimpse of the scene from
the bridge was too brief for me to recall what sort of train it was.


Cheers,
