When the carriage was eventually recovered from that sinkhole downtown, it was completely empty. There were thirty-odd people in there when it all collapsed and they haven't been able to find so much as a left behind bag let alone a survivor. Just broken glass, twisted metal and dozens of messages scratched onto every available surface.
They'd only been trapped for four or five hours at most yet somehow they all managed to either fall down the sinkhole and close the carriage door behind them or vanish into thin air after writing about how the darkness was calling for them and there was something greater than a light at the end of the tunnel. Takes the absolute piss to be quite frank.
On the bright side it's thought to be the deepest sinkhole ever found in the country so the metro's got that going for them, not that any amount of publicity could ever compensate for the lives lost and lives disrupted by it all. To make matters weirder, not a single one of their probes has found the end or even any sign of an end to the damned thing.
What they have found are bones sticking out from the walls. At least three clumps are suspected plague pits but the others date back a few thousand years prior to the black death and far further down there are bones so fresh they could only have come from the missing passengers.
They've not even been gone a week yet there's nothing left of them but bare bones covered in teeth marks.
