Mr. Jones pointed out that not all accidents happened on crowded
trains. At least a half of the people who fell off trains during the past
12 months were travelling on trains where ample room was available in the

who tried to board or alight from moving trains.

requesting them to caution students against misbehaviour on trains, but there
are still many who disregard these warnings", he added.
