In the 1970s, when London was in the midst of an IRA bombing campaign, one of my brothers left his school bag on a bus. When this was discovered the area around the bus was evacuated and the police (or army) bomb disposal team came and carried out a controlled explosion. A few days later during morning assembly (at school) the headmaster called my brother to come to the front to collect the damaged remains of his bag ... in front of hundreds of other pupils plus teachers....

Actually it isn't necessarily the key to the train, although it can be thought of in that way. The 1972 stock used on the Bakerloo Line needs 2 separate keys to move: the main train key and the selector key. The former activates the cab and allows the driver to program in the route number and destination (for the automatic announcements, as well as to show the train number on the front of the train, which is used on TFL's Working Timetable). The latter key is used to actually move the reverser handle. This handle is basically like the gearstick in an automatic car, allowing you to select forwards and backwards. There are a couple of other indents in there, but those are not relevant. Once this selector key is in, the driver can select to put the train in forward mode, allowing him to drive it up to the end of the platform.

Anything that stops trains is bad news, all the trains behind it are halted too,, can cause additional problems with people panicing on hot , stuffy crowded trains. Passenger information is key. Its very unsual to stop the service during traffic hours, items usually have to be retreived during engineering hours unless there is a definate safety usse to trains, like something fouling the rails or likely to operate a tripcock. Rubbish blown into tunnels where there are points can foul the blades and really foul up the service so its a delicate call on the part of the traffic controller as to whether suspend the service for retreval.

Practice is the same on Network Rail for drivers and guards: they put on hi vis if there's any need to inspect the outside of the train, for example, but I've never seen than in hi vis when checking tickets (though they are in uniform then).

On most (probably all by now) of the LU lines, the trains have green marker boards that the train must be within a certain distance of to be able to release the doors

Train can't drive off while the doors are open. Here is different because the doors are still shut so the train could drive off if the driver did a mistake roughly equivalent to a car driver slipping their foot off the clutch.

what so everyones day gets delayed because a child dropps a bag?

Dropped my earpod once on to the tracks ... Pulled out my measure tape with magnetic end bit out ofa tool bag and got my stuf back in seconds ...

Nope this is London and you will be heavily resented for taking a even a few seconds or minutes out of someones day. When I was around 18 I worked in a Supermarket and someone had a seizure in the aisle and split their head open on the floor when they fell and started bleeding. I saw people literally step over them and continue shopping rather than give up a minute of their day to get help. It was genuinely shocking. Living in London you do become very desensitised to the suffering of others. Could be the same for most major cities I don’t t know.

Is this a line from a book for kids just learning to read?

If this happens in India the staff will just dive on the rails, pick the stuff with their hands and jump on the platform within the timeframe of the train's stoppage.

In India, we just jump down to the tracks and retrieve our fallen article quickly before a train hits us.

Wait I don't understand why they would have to take their control key?

That level of safety is why train crashes are rare and newsworthy when they do happen while car crashes happen every day. They didn't want the equivalent of "my foot slipped off the clutch pedal" killing the staff. The train systems are built around safety and were so long before health and safety became a thing in other industries. The only other major industry that comes close is aviation. I think that's one up for the railways. I'd prefer delay to death any day.

reckon i'd be a little embarrassed if i'd dropped my shopping on the tracks thus inconveniencing lots of people.

Be noted that conductor rail still has 750v running through it . Extreamly dangerous .... they glue you to the track as they fry you ! No joke .

There was radio conversation about shutting off the traction current, I think they may have, concluded that this was unnecessary as the bag was on the platform side, the opposite to the conductor rail.

@@littlewickhamtrolleys how do you tell the difference between a conductor rail ? The WHITE plates that raise the track this indicates its a LIVE conductor rail.

So, that's how you do it.

Good plan when there's a rail at 210V and another one at 420V. Fried commuter. At least that'll stop them dropping anything in future

Dive down head first before an oncoming train. Then once retrieved backflip back onto the platform from that jolt of energy you'll get from doing that.
