I would be scared as heck to lay on the rails. Don't care how much the trains were not running.

Yeah feel like it's similar to don't look down the barrel of an unloaded gun. Sure, there's not supposed to be a bullet in there, but the risk if you're mistaken is too great. There's not supposed to be a train coming down those tracks, but would be pretty bad if there was.

Aldwych station was apparently closed during the war. Anyway, I’m pretty sure someone would have had a look before running a train down there.

I'm sure you're right. I guess my example was because even if you're certain that the chamber is empty because you cleared it yourself, you still have an inhibition about looking down the barrel. Even if logically I knew no trains were coming, I'd have a hard time sleeping there.

I'm not seeing a yellow line here, so they should be good.

Even with everything going on, you can see a bunch of people smiling.
