Thank goodness for that man who saw her fall..

Wow - Ive been drunk but Im not sure Ive ever been that drunk..

I'm amazed it doesnt happen more often, given the number of drunk people using trains, and the overcrowding.

I'm sure I have... but thankfully nowhere near a train/car... I'm still amazed she didn't touch the live rail...  :o

You should try driving a tram on a Saturday night in Nottingham.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near City Centre Nottingham on a Saturday Night!   :-X

I lived in Boston for two years and except for homeless people never actually saw anyone drunk! There's no doubting this woman was legless though, bet the poor driver had a heart attack!!

Well Ok I have been that drunk but was probably incapable of getting to the station in the first place..

That'll be a hell of a story to tell at the AA meeting!

Fortunately mother nature gave me a very good 'better out than in' reflex when it comes to alcohol, so dont think I've ever got to that stage...

Now first a little warning, I am not usually moved by much but this made me feel sick.

So if you think she was lucky, how about this little nipper

Nightmare!

Impossible to believe that the baby escaped, but he did -

"The six-month-old boy was left with only minor injuries, despite the train dragging the buggy 60 yards along the rails."
