It would probably be difficult to implement a system like that and not have it keep being triggered erroneously.

Has anyone ever thought of adding say a light beam or something to indicate if the railway is blocked so that an oncoming train has time to stop?

That woman was lucky, extremely so, I did not think the train would be able to stop in time. Were I the conductor of that train and I did everything possible to stop the train i still do not think I could watch it. I'd have to turn away, or close my eyes.

Why would the conductor have to stop the train? That's the driver's job.

Was that lady like drunk or high or something? She seemed seriously out of it....

They really should put some kind of railing or plexiglass system along those subways. We don't have a subway here in my city but I'm pretty damn sure if we did we would have some kind of railing system along the edge to prevent stupid people from falling.

Yes we have alot of stupid people here so it would be built with them in mind.

They have such a system on the Jubilee Line extension on the London Underground. All the new stations' platforms have a glass wall with doors that only open when there is a train stopped there.
