Metrolink
has been forced to cover up a poster on a tram platform reading: "Take a
running jump from here". The poster, advertising Playstation, was spotted by a
railway worker and Metrolink was ordered to take it down for fear it could
encourage people to leap on to the line.
Disturbing, as according to Manchester
Online, there have been a rash of passengers getting hit by trains in recent
months. An employee noticed the ad, thought it was inappropriate and had it
covered with tape. The ad has now been taken down.
