I think she pushed the stroller.....:o

I dont think so. The way she is moving her hands to fix her belt or whatever doesn't look like she pushed. I think she just let go at the wrong time on an incline.

A baby has had an amazing escape after his pushchair rolled off a station platform and under a train in Australia.

The train had slowed right down as it pulled into the station and the six-month-old baby suffered only a bump to his head.

I used to know a man whose job included body recovery from trains.
Very grim.

As a train driver, the worst thing that drivers fear is having something like this happen. You take every caution, but trains don't stop that fast!

Now if it was a vandal or politician on the tracks, full speed ahead!!!!

Maybe it was not an accident?

Perhaps the mother did not want the kid any more and was looking for a quick lawsuit to fund her new life?

World is full of sucky people willing to do sucky things. :nope:

Let's hope someone is keeping a casual eye on this mother.

I hope they are not!
You grounds for suspicion are baseless in fact. Cynicism is nowhere near
enough grounds for state surveillance against someone who has no
evidence of foul play against her.

No, just driving a train home of people who had! Still have another three months to go in training. It has been interesting to say the least! I have had more things happen to me than some 40 year veterans! Should be let loose by myself from late January onwards.

BTW Drinking is a big no no, I can be subjected to a random alcohol and drug test at any time!:()1:
