There is naff all clearance underneath a train these days. I remember checking under an Electrostar, and what woudl happen is you would get snagged on control boxes and dragged along, not a nice way to go.

Yes, as he was lying in the the four foot clenching his butt cheeks he would have been smacked in the head by the AWS or ATPS pickup!

So no, not a good idea!  :y
