I'd have to disagree Mark. Making a PA is the least he should do after the train has overshot the platform. What if the only passenger in the leading coach was deaf and was disembarking at the front door, then the PA would be useless and Mr. deaf passenger falls out into the darkness (and what if the driver doesn't see that?). It seems it happens often enough when our small group here can report two overshoots in as many months. There must be many more. Report it I say.
