research carried out jointly for samaritans and the rail industry by the universities of middle sex and wedtminister indicated that a by standard camapign could be valuable as the public has a role to play in suicide prevention on the railways.

we have also consulted individuals who have experienced suicidal thoughts ,those who have lost loved ones to suicide ,people who regularly travel by train ,and the general public . we wanted to make sure we considered range of experiences when developing the campaign . an example of of the importance of our campaign is sarah's story .
