I’m afraid I’ll stay in minority here… But I live in Russia, and such way of travelling is quite common here and is not regarded as very dangerous, especially for short-distance trips. I myself have never done this, but I saw people riding outside the carriage dozens of times – even women and elder ones. Here is a photo from one of the Russian blogs

Pleased to hear it.

I hate public transport just as much as the next person Liam!

In fact, I caught my first ever domestic train just a few months ago!

Anyway, the bridge just happened to be adjacent a bar we frequent and it was a case of right place right time!

I imagine some heads are gonna roll at Connex HQ for not spotting this and getting the train to stop, haha.

And, Paul, what on earth were you doing at a Public Transport station thingy? :P

Those rail lines look really wide in Melbourne compared to brissy.At least Brisbane’s new trains [160/260] were designed with this in mind and are curved right along the front to stop this happening. I really hope that idiot doesnt get hurt though because most likely he would sue connex and win

@Yanzo

Parkour traceurs (people who do Parkour) are usually highly trained in their discipline; hardly compare this to riding on the back of a train.

There is extreme and there is idiotic.

And good spot CA, saw this on TV this morning.

Certainly not fare evasion.

If you have ever tried to catch a train after a game you would know it would be more so frustration of not getting a seat coupled with alcohol.

Dont know about down south, but here in QLD public transport is free on game days be it cricket or footy.
Even free for concerts too i think/hope it is/was.

Imagine the fright the guard might get if he was to pop the blind up to check the weather

Ill give him one thing though apart from being stupid, he has done bloody well to hold on with a mere 4 inches to rest his heels.
Its bad enough to hold on when you are inside, and would have been harder since he would have likely been intoxicated
