Research Day Part 1:
It occurred to me that the Tube announcers no longer say "person under a train", instead tube delays are due to "passenger action". I had initially interpreted this phrase as concerning consumer group protests about poor service. However 10 minutes hard googling produced this and this and this all confirming that indeed "passenger action" is a euphemism for train assisted suicide. Further knowledge gained: 11am is the peak time for tube suicides.
