Does anyone know any decent spots in the UK for the train method?

[The Schizoid]

Since we're ok on the forum discussion good places to jump, does anyone know how to access a decent places in the UK to access a track for a fast train?

I know some of you don't agree with the train method, but I am definitely considering it if I cannot access a good place to jump.

I'm interested, seems hard to get data on this, it's not a popular method, even here.

I've heard some people talk about level crossings but they're often monitored like platforms

 

[4g1vvvven]

Trains also slow down a lot at level crossings. Putting aside the trauma you'll cause the driver and the clean-up crew, you'll find it pretty hard in the UK because level crossings have rightly been being phased out for years due to their danger to unweary vehicles and pedestrians and a lot of tracks are well monitored and will lead to trains being suspended during any intrusion.

I wonder how ~200 people still manage it

The belief that is is instant is for me why it often sticks in my head, it is a shame to think about the consequences to others, I'm not sure that can be avoided with any method though can it?

Do you have a preferred method?

Leaving the effect on others out of the equation, part of the challenge of ctb by train is the risk of experiencing life changing injuries rather than death.
Survival Instinct causing involuntary movement as the loco actually screams down at you, a portion of the bodywork or the impact flinging your body clear or just being plain unlucky could really mess you up.
The two most recent train events I've seen in Britain were a Police Sgt who tried to assist a would be suicide from the tracks, far as I recall the cop lost an arm and a leg, dying some days later. The would be suicide was uninjured.
The other was a lady who fell onto tracks from a platform, no one saw her fall or heard her screams. She was on the track for around 20 minutes whilst other trains passed over her. Again, she lost some limbs.

There are NO good places to make someone watch you die then have to deal with it.
Keep it private.

Some trains will just drive right through train stations rather than stopping or anything. Go to a smaller train station (as in, not the main one in your city) and try to learn the schedules of these trains that just pass through.

People have hurt me plenty, but god forbid I touch other people's perfect little lives.
Fuck them. If this is the only bad thing that happens to them, then they're lucky bastards.

If the train is going fast enough, you're dead.

Milton Keynes station as some fast services go straight though at very high speed and is a popular spot but think of the poor driver.

I'll do it at night and wear something over my head to minimise gore. Train at high speed feels like the best method.

Totally agree.

Man, I just gotta say it - this is a terrible thing to do. I understand you are hurt and want out, but please! Find a method that don't leave other people traumatized, potentially for life. You also have great risks of extreme injuries if you somehow survive.

Is this not true for all methods?
None promise complete fatality and in any event you will be discovered in some state right?

It's a world of difference finding someone that has died in a bed and having to accidentally smash them with your train.

Fair enough, I appreciate what you're saying

If I find a fast enough train, and I lean down head first towards the train, then I'm not surviving. I don't care really tbh.

I've never understood why this community is so strongly against the train method while at the same time jumping is not even questioned. I've seen what jumping causes to the body and it's definitely very traumatizing for most people. Also, I believe that society is responsible for the suicides happening on the rails. For some people it is the most effective, for some even the only reliable method. Offer people the legal right to die humanely and there will be nobody jumping in front of a train

Couldn't agree more. Train suicides are a tragedy for the driver, but it's not the suicidal person's fault, it's the fault of the government for restricting peaceful, humane methods.

I think most on this forum would offer the legal right to die humanely, I do wonder if the forum would lose it's reservations if the train wasn't being driven by a stranger

Jumps have witnesses too I suppose but no Individual drives the ground up into you

I think it is because, even if many of the people here have been treated unfairly by both society and life in general, we still maintain the empathy for innocent people who had nothing to do with it. I know that people who accidently kill someone in traffic can be heavily traumatized by it, and I think the same would go for someone driving a train. Since there are methods that don't affect others in this way, I think it is considerate to others to consider these instead. I do agree however that society does have a responsibility for the numbers of 'violent' suicides by restricting peaceful access to people who really want out.

I'm still searching for spots. Have found a couple near me but the trains only go 50mph.

Need to find a bigger line with faster moving trains.

Trains also slow down a lot at level crossings. Putting aside the trauma you'll cause the driver and the clean-up crew, you'll find it pretty hard in the UK because level crossings have rightly been being phased out for years due to their danger to unweary vehicles and pedestrians and a lot of tracks are well monitored and will lead to trains being suspended during any intrusion.

I know a place that I can climb to acquire access to the track.

 

[The Schizoid]

I'm going to be taking some trips out into scotland, england and wales soon on trains, scoping out the best spots for train death. Anyone who wants to get any ideas, stay in touch.

 

[4everDone]

So death by a train wouldn't be considered CTB anymore right? Because the train and not the bus, so CTT (Catching The Train) right?

These are the same people who support anti-ctb/ctb prevention policies. They don't care about us, so why should we care? If ctb methods were easily accessible and easy to execute, we wouldn't be going through all these difficulties.

Yes I've been getting better at hanging myself. Unfortunately it's said there's a special place in hell for he or she who deliberately dies by train . Jumpers aren't as bad although it is still a little messy.

Is it really necessary to practise partial hanging? Cant you just attempt it multiple times the day u decide to commit suicide till you get it right? Doesn't seem very hard if you have the right rope and anchor

 

[The Schizoid]

Yes it can be very difficult because of you practice too many times in succession you injure yourself and increase the likelihood of SI making follow-up attempts harder.

And also unless you really know what you're doing, you could end up with permanent brain damage and become a vegetable for the rest of your life.

I've been thinking about using this method for a while, too. If I were to do it I would go outside of the city / village and hide in the bushes so I can't be seen from afar. Perhaps I'd even do it during nighttime and wear a jacket with a hood over my head as I lay my neck on the railway shortly before the train arrives. Maybe I'd even bring a blanket and completely pull it over my body so all the train driver sees is a square of cloth. He might not even realise he ran over a person.

Personally I'd be too nervous about decapitation death because I see some trains after materials in front of their wheels which make smack your head out of the way before decapitation.

I'd much prefer a head on collision with a high speed train first.

That's a good point. I guess you gotta observe the types of trains that pass the tracks and pick the right one.

Everything inside that blanket that can decompress will explode outwards of the blanket.

Not if you just lay your neck on the track, then you will just be decapitated. And still, even if everything explodes outwards the train driver doesn't see it unless he stops the train and gets out. And even then he hasn't seen the act of hitting a person I guess. Of course still traumatising for him, but... less?
