  1. danoob says:

    first sucked off

  2. Gibbo says:

    Interesting, but would u really want to get sucked off by say… a train?

  3. Hey-nonny-nonny-mous says:

    Good Peter Kay joke there. Never realised it was actually on a sign, lol.

  4. fepic ail says:

    FOURTH!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Whitey says:

    *steps to the front of the platform*

  6. That’s funny dude! :D

  7. ema says:

    I bet there is a line.

  8. huh says:

    just like to say
    MYTHBUSTERS BUSTED THAT MYTH
    wooooooooo

  9. Boner says:

    Not a fail, just a regular sign stating the obvious. Move along.

  10. Nabokov says:

    In Soviet Russia, train sucks off you …

    … oh wait … that’s what the sign says already …

  11. [dangeruss] says:

    inertia WIN

  12. Ross says:

    Arrrrrrr……… Kings Cross!

    (you won’t get it if you are not a Londoner)

  13. RogueThree says:

    Surprise fellatio seems to happen a lot there.

  14. Boner, Jr. says:

    What about photoshopped??

    • fara says:

      Definitely not photoshopped. These are all over some of the stations on the London Tube. You’ll see them if you head in on the Piccadilly line from Heathrow Airport.

      • Anon says:

        You fail.

      • Matt says:

        Well… not quite. The signs usually say “Keep back from platform edge. Stand behind yellow line”.

        Incidentally, if you’re at a small station in England somewhere and there’s an automatic announcement like “A high speed train is approaching and will not stop at this station, stand well back from the platform edge” it’s a really good idea. They suck really hard at 120miles/hour.

      • oddcat says:

        so you could ultimately get sucked off on the tube if you dont read the signs?

      • Mike says:

        No you won’t, not least because this is a British Rail sign, not the Underground. People only imagine that’s what they’re seeing. Actually read them properly sometime.

        This is a total Photoshop job, unless someone had fun at some station or another with sticky letters.
        The real signs say “High-speed trains pass this platform” on the second line. Go look.

        In short, FAIL FAIL.

  15. Khaaaaaaaan says:

    Comment. WIN. Period.

  16. I was in Slough last year visiting my brother. Morning after a hard night of pub crawling. Standing on a train platform, trying to clear my head, sipping coffee I got at a kiosk. Chuckling over that exact sign in the picture and over the “Stupid Little Biscuit” I got from the kiosk. One of those high-speed trains barrels through the station. DAAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!! That woke me up. I took one more step back from the red line. Myth Busters may have busted it, but I wasn’t taking any chances.

  17. spats says:

    that sounds like a the best train station in the world!
    I wonder who it is though…..

  18. Anonymous says:

    This failure made me hard.

    I hate you.

  19. Anonymous says:

    What about “First!!!1″

  20. anonyman says:

    first, next is gay!

  21. liljoeyster says:

    ya u r anonymous :D

  22. liljoeyster says:

    and u no u r :lol:

  23. Hitler says:

    concentration camp oven win

  24. pilot says:

    And here I thought a highway rest area was the spot to go for this…

  25. liljoeyster says:

    is anyone there

  26. liljoeyster says:

    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

    • RogueThree says:

      You must be new to this site. I’d like to give you some friendly pointers.
      1) You’re not texting.
      2) You’re not on ICHC.
      3) Posting in a similar way to those may get you ignored.
      Other than that, you have the whole insulting people thing down pat. Welcome to Failblog.

  27. jules says:

    Triple FAil, Mythbusters already probes that theres no such thing as “train succion”

    • Jules says:

      Hey, I’m Jules!

      I never saw the Mythbusters episode, but “train suction” makes sense to me. Racecar drivers call it drafting, don’t they?

    • Malfeasant says:

      one thing I remember from school many many years ago… something about how suction is technically incorrect, it’s not the lack of pressure of a vacuum pulling the air through a passage, but rather the higher pressure of the surroundings pushes it…
      so…
      there is no suck, only blow

  28. Chris5156 says:

    Hate to spoil the party, but the sign is a standard one formulated by British Rail many years ago. The bottom line reads “High speed trains pass this platform”.

    Photoshop fail.

  29. Danometer says:

    @ jules: No one ever accused municipalities of intelligence, qv petrol pumps with “No Cell Phone” stickers on them.

  30. blackbelt says:

    win

  31. ucantfindme says:

    well said Boner glad to see I’m not the only one getting tired of the overused comments by the net nerds!

  32. Justin Wright says:

    LOL, OK so what does she look like? is she a young hot chick or an old bag? LMAO!

  33. Chappy Bignuts says:

    FAIL for ending a sentence with a preposition.

  34. dylan says:

    actually, the sign is true. if you stand in front of the yellow line the low pressure zone in front of the train will suck you in!

  35. Jimbo says:

    Is that picture, by any chance, taken by someone at the train station at Oxenholme, Kendal? :P

  36. dhertz64 says:

    Mythbusters fail-ified this one.

  37. Wolfie says:

    This is a photoshop.

    I’m not debating wether the phenomonon exists, (Though there is turbulence when a 125 m/h train passes) but these signs actually read along the lines of:

    Keep back from the platform edge.

    Passing high speed trains cause turbluence.

    • Alex says:

      It’s not photoshopped, I’ve been there and I’m trying so hard to remember what station it is! I think it’s Sheffield, but it could be Dewsbury (England).

  38. epicfail says:

    lol, the sing is facing towards the edge of the platform!

  39. epicfail says:

    oops, sign.

  40. RogueEleven says:

    Metalocalypse win.

  41. Carveus says:

    Not shopped. That’s Preston station in the UK, I have seen that sign with my own eyes. The pictures been making the rounds in email between friends and the County Council for about 3 years now.

    • vibe666 says:

      FAIL! it’s Penrith station (you can see some of the “Penrith” sign under the or part of (or win) in the pic, but you can indeed find the same signs on many stations on that line so you might well have seen one in Preston too. It always gave me a giggle as a young lad anyway, but it’s by no means a photoshop job. Not sure if they are still worded that way now or not but the pic could easily be fairly old.

    • Opiel16 says:

      Is not true! I live there (Preston, not Preston station)
      It looks nothing like this. Is clearly Penrith.
      And, photoshop or not, is a funny concept.

  42. I wish they had that in New York. Or maybe they do, in Brooklyn…

  43. martron3000 says:

    Why are all those men standing at the edge of the platform?

  44. Nik says:

    You fools, you all fail.
    And especially whoever edited this pic and added “Or Win” on the bottom.

    It’s not London
    The whole point of this images is that it is at Penrith station in Sydney Australia, renown for crack whores and addicts.

    Fail

    • Colbert says:

      You fail, moron. Penrith has no reputation for Crack because “WE DONT DO CRACK OUT IN DE WEST, BRAAAAHHH!!! KUZ CRACK ID’NT A DRUG EPIDEMIC IN AUS, CAHNT, BUT ID IS IN D’ US CUS” im done. Get your facts straight. Before you try to fling insults at other suburbs

    • Mashdown says:

      yeah that was pretty dumb

  45. felix says:

    Haha thats Penrith station in cumbria
    Im sure my mate has a picture of that (this could be it)

  46. Andrew says:

    British Failways Strike again!

  47. Last Hussar says:

    I used to know a bloke whose job it was to clean the mess left by the people who did stand to close to the edge. You need a strong stomach. This is a real sign.

  48. SuperGanj says:

    WIN! WIN! WIN!

  49. Rofl says:

    Dude i swear i saw someone got suxed of the perron and died

  50. one of those very fast moving trains, i guess.

  51. Mashdown says:

    BTW this sign was at Penrith station over 15 years ago. I remember it and beggin my mum to take a photo but she said i was being immature lol. Then they renovated the station before i could get a camre of my own

  52. zogs says:

    id definately do that :D

  53. Edgars says:

    thats more like it!
