Train driver asks passengers to get out and push

Similar experience

I had similar experience back in Ukraine when going on a trolleybus (electric powered bus). Its pantograph got unwired in a 'neutral zone' in a middle of intersection. At first driver was uncertain about what to do but then another driver from a passing trolleybus recommended to ask passengers to push it a couple of feet. Small effort from 10 people and we were ‘on the road’ again.

Pedal power

Never understood why trains don't come with gyms. They could let people have a workout and at the same time generate power for the train.

First India

Next First Scotrail.

Oh, how I look forward to pushing the Fife Circle over the Forth Rail bridge on a lovely january morning.

Hmm...

To quote Sir Topham Hatt (the Fat Controller from the Rev.W.Awdry's railway series books):

"My doctor has forbidden me to push."

CO2

Now the question is, does the train produce more CO2 than all of those people pushing the train?

I have a sneaky suspicion that joggers and gym attendees are causing global warming, hence I am doing my bit by abstaining!

You see .....

This just goes to show, we were RIGHT not to electrify the whole of Britain's railway network in the 1970s!

Bootlaces

Was anyone willing to give up their bootlaces?

Bootlaces

Unfortunately, bootlaces can only be used to fix really useful steam engines!
