Move to a different coach otherwise
1) Pull the communication cord, driver should not be able to move off if the communication cord system is not reset while train stationary
2) If fitted speak to the driver using the emergency contact system
3) Exit through the side away from track unless on a bridge
4) Break the plastic seal and pull the handle of the door release (this also makes it impossible for the driver to move the train)
5) Slide door
6) Exit calmly and with care
It should be noted in many situations and in particular fire the driver may as a matter of urgency may try to split the train in two to prevent the fire from spreading, obey instructions and don't get in the way
Many people have died while doing stupid things where there was no immediate risk or who took chances in an emergency by not following common sense
