Suicide on the London Underground : ウィキペディア英語版 | Suicide on the London Underground
Suicide on the London Underground has been an issue since the Underground (also known as the "Tube") opened in the 19th century. It involves a person intentionally jumping into an oncoming train's path so that the impact kills them. Suicides on English railways increased significantly following newspaper reports in 1868 about the method;〔 all injuries on the country's railways must be reported, in accordance with the Regulation of Railways Act 1873.〔 ==Euphemisms== Underground management and train drivers use several phrases to refer to suicides, sometimes using "person under a train" (usually to inform passengers), "person on a track," "passenger action," but most commonly "one under" — a well known phrase across the network.〔Kuper, Dan. ("Notes from underground" ). ''Prospect''. 24 September 2006. Accessed 8 August 2011.〕〔Hicks, Wynford (2004). (''Quite Literally: Problem Words and How to Use Them'' ). Routledge. p. 169.〕 Those who survive are often charged with offences such as "endangering safety on the railway" and "obstruction of trains with intent".〔("Tube 'suicide attempt' woman lies between rails" ). ''The Daily Mail''. 22 February 2007. Accessed 7 August 2011.〕 〔Clarke, R. V.; Poyner, B. ("Preventing suicide on the London underground" ) . ''Social Science & Medicine'' 38 (3): 443–446.
