Use your brain near a train….

Well the video starts by reminding you breathe the air and drink liquids which sets the tone nicely…for this awful bit of “public safety”video. Given all the modernisation work, and general gripes about lack of service standards, this may not be the right idea at the right time….But i am sure a social media genius believes it to be fine…

And the video…

I really cant believe they’ve done this…. and its been interesting to see some of the twitter based reactions.  It may not be going as well as they thought…

Very dull ride home by @My_Metro trains caught: 2 Stations visited: 12 Electrocutions: 0 Decapitations: 0 Other deaths / serious injuries: 0

And this too….

@My_Metro 20,000 incidents, one injury (0.005%) and and 160 causing “delays” (0.8%) Doesn’t seem like your biggest problem?

 Now you might just be thinking Carl (never met the person) has a gripe but loads of others too….

Omfg! Those new @My_Metro videos are atrociously bad! I was sure they were a spoof account at first. Who thought they were a good idea?

It will be interesting to see what actually happens, there is some press reaction too:

And i am sure i could find more examples, but enough already….

And an update another video this time showing CCTV footage of people and Metro doors….
