Sometimes the pressure of doing it live is immense. You forget your training. You discard hours of consistently nailing it with technique and strategy that works for an impulse feeling in the moment. Happens to the best of us. You hate to see it.

the real train platform skill is knowing which door will position you closed to the platform exit at the station you're heading to, the feeling pride from being first up the steps off a peak our train is immense

Just glad to see Hamish and andy still being Hamish and Andy.

Definitely a skill ive slowly picked up over the years of using public transport. Another skill id love to see that really saves time is finding the right carriage/door to get off the train directly infront of the stairs at your stop

It's hard to do in Melbourne because different trains have the doors in different spots. In Brisbane all the trains are consistent so you can see the darker areas on the platform to see the wear people don't walk

looks like they remembered to cut out the bit of hamish fare evading

If you look at the white paint along the platform, in Town Hall at least, you can see the faint darker areas where people step on and off the train. Most drivers are on the money and stop at the same place each time, but there is about a 1m variability. I always wondered if I was the only one who noticed this.

This is just brilliant content.

This has many variables with the configuration of Metro train doors as the HMCT, Siemens, Comeng & Xtrapolis all have doors in different spots & not to mention the V/Line who have H set, N set carriages all with different positions hauled by an N class locomotive & not to mention the sprinters & velocities

Special skills, always a massive hit. Or a huge swing and miss. Tough luck mate. Can we please get more uploads? You guys would get so many views on an official shorts channel

There are some hotly contested train door tragics on the lilydale line. They literally get there half an hour early just to stand on the one spot.

Bloody unlucky this time. I really had the feeling he was going to be right in front of that door. He had that train door look.

Meanwhile in Japan they have signs on the floor telling you where the door will be and what door to use to be close to your exit at your station

"It's like curling" lmao

happy to know i was not the only one playing this game everytime

I used to use trains every day and had worked this out. its not a guessing game but rather looking for clues. I would look at the white pain between the gap and the markers. you can seen the paint is darker where the heaviest foot traffic is. that's where I would then stand and I never failed. you can even see the evidence of this in this clip and where he stands originally is darker than where he moves. you can also see those dark spots evenly down the platform in this clip. thank me later commuters

In Brisbane you can look at the white on the platform and the spots where it is cleaner is where the doors stop

If you use the trains often enough they're pretty much at the same spot every time

Pretty funny when you consider in a lot of places they have markings on the platforms where the doors will be and the trains just stop there every time.

So random so gold

Always trust ya gut

japan they have it painted where the doors will be. for multiple length trains and multiple train lines aswell. Does this happen in other countries?

Stick with your guns young fella, don't question the gut

Should be a automatic free ride 😂

Easier to do on the Sydney trains. I make sure to pick the door closest to the exit of the platform 😂

In Japan it's written on the platform where the doors will be.

size of the windows and gaps between doors youhave a 1 in 5 chance

you can actually know where the doors are gonna be because at the end of the platform they have to stop .there you just have to remember the door positions

He forgot the first rule, always trust your gut instincts, never second guess yourself.

Hmmm I see you didn't include the fair evoision...good call

I call this train door roulette

The people that walk 5 steps in the direct of travel never make sense to me. Like, if you're going to take 5 steps when it arrives, just wait 5 steps further 😅

Can’t win em all. Mate’s too fast and loose to waste time replicating this skill for non-functional demonstration purposes. He plays for the love of the game. Happens to the best of em.

Dude I take platform 10 to get home

id like to say im the fastest man alive when it comes to green light to opening the train doors

I do this every day 😢

Is the goal to block people who are about to leave the train, or to be forced to do the backwards walk of shame?

1:15 thats where I met my ex girlfriend, platform 10 right in front of the monitors :)

should’ve stuck with his gut!

This is comedy, but these guys have obviously never been to Japan. ...or Taiwan. No guessing there.

stopping mfs from saying first
