  1. PersimmonBasket on

    It’s sad, but really, we’ve done very well to avoid this for as long as we have. I lived in London when IRA bombings and bombing threats were commonplace and you just get used to the messaging. I’ve been evacuated from tube stations on more than one occasion.

    And this was one of the recommendations from the Bondi Junction inquest.

    We don’t need to be afraid, just more aware, and know what to if something happens.

  2. This is so unnecessary IMO. Not only is that just common sense, and what people will do anyway, but it’s also just so extremely rare that it’s not worth scaring people and making them think that it’s likely to be needed.

    You’re much more likely to be harassed by some junkie, so here’s my new sign:

    “In case of random junkie encounter, do not look them in the eyes, and just keep walking. They may call you a fucken dog, a misogynistic slur, or a racial slur, but just keep walking”.

    I noticed it on Thursday.

    Additional security to look out for potential threats? Nah.

    Signs that freak people out? Yeah perfect.

  4. Why the absolute fuck are people against this? Genuine reddit moment. It has 0 impact on them yet they take great offence ahahah.

  5. You’ll be the same person to complain “I had no idea what to do during an attack” also.

  6. Makes sense, but the screens seem like a really odd (and disruptive) place to show it. The whole point is top be able to see exactly when services are running. Anything that isn’t that should not be there.

  7. I saw this recently too and it just made me sad. Sad that this is where we are at now. Thanks.

  8. Not many places to run to or hide on a Metro – it’s just one long metal tube!
