That’s rather unfortunate.

It makes sense not to report these things, though I wonder if there really would be a marked increase if they were reported?

I can confirm your suspicions. It’s a small world after all.
The (depressed) daughter of the cousin of a colleague of mine threw herself under a train at Stirling that weekend.
And yes, they don’t put these things in the papers or on the news in case it encourages others.
The Forth Road Bridge and Beachy Head (near Eastbourne) are particularly prominent locations for this sort of thing – but you rarely hear about individual cases.

I had a look around myself and didn’t see anything. I suspect they keep these things hush hush, so that other people don’t get the same idea. It does however explain the recent campaign about safety on level crossings.

I haven’t seen anything in the news about it- that’s how I found your page!

It was a bit of a disaster all told. Still we got there in the end.

I like it. Well written and tells the story very well.

Shame it all happened like that, but as you say, at least we got to see the band. Didn’t have as happy an ending as that though as we had to slink of early in order to get back to Stirling on the last train.
But you got to see Adam Gnade.
