Angry passengers hijack Metrorail train

[schumi]

Durban - A Metrorail train in Durban was hijacked on Wednesday night by passengers who attempted to force the train driver to deviate from the route.

Train 0277 was en route from Durban to Stanger when, at Duffs Road, commuters wanted the driver, Zina Katzen, to go off course to KwaMashu.

They were angry that only one line was available to commuters, the others allegedly being used by Transnet Freight Rail.

The operational centre became aware of the drama when they overheard passengers threatening Katzen through the communication system.

General secretary of the United National Transport Union, Steve Harris, said the train came to a standstill and security removed unruly passengers.

That train should've just made a u-turn !

Clever thinking here. Since when can I just talk to my car ?

People think a train is like a car that you can just tell it wherever to go, but it puts it on another rail and things can go wrong

The routes are carefully timed with the signal lights and on-going communications with the operations command center at Durban station via a radio.

You go bouncing around with your dick in your hand and a train in the other and the ****storm that you are heading in to is pretty ****ing epic.

One of the better examples of de-colon-isation: just shout at the train and tell it that it took a wrong turn and it must go where you tell it to go.

I think someone on the train was reading the 2005 edition of "This Diary Will Change Your Life"

Hijack a train to the scene of your coup
No revolution is complete without the spectacular arrival from the hills of the bearded revolutionaries. Today board a train and demand that it divert to the government HQ, or better still, the TV station, where you will take over the country, using force of some description.
