Sweat gushes from train doors like elevator scene in The Shining
by Nathan Cowley 6 months ago 
Passengers have been swept away in a tsunami of their own sweat after the doors opened on a packed commuter train at London Paddington.
Reminiscent of the famous elevator scene in The Shining, the river of perspiration gushed out of the Great Western Railway train, taking dozens of passengers with it.
“We were lucky not to drown,” said commuter Simon Williams, who ended up somewhere near Ealing Broadway.
“I started getting a little concerned when the sweat got to around ankle level. I was thinking that probably isn’t a normal thing to be seeing on the train home. It’s this damn heatwave. All of our perspiration had been dripping onto the floor and combining for the last half an hour until eventually it was up to our necks.
“We tried to open some windows, but they’re notoriously difficult. It took about five people to pry one of them open. Even then only a small amount of the sweat seeped out of the train. We were just praying we’d get to the next stop before it started going into our mouths and filling our lungs.
“Thank God it arrived at Paddington when it did. Yes, the current took me about 20 miles away from London in the end, but I was just relieved to be alive. I think I’ll probably treat myself to an Uber for tomorrow’s journey.”
