This is another one:
A man get on a train in the morning to go to London. He stays there for rest of the day but at about 7:00 he take the same train back home. however on the way back, when the train goes through a tunnel, he kills himself. Why?
Here you also have to ask questions to understand.

Maybe he was blind, went to London to have an operation, (re)gained vision, went back and when entering the tunnel thought he was blind again - so he killed himself because of disappointed hopes ?

Mistysakura,
we have here in Germany - but I don't know about English trains!
Anyway, I guess they were off and the sudden shock was just too much for him.

It doesnt really matter but in this train there were not.
In the "what happened" section this does not really matter if it is possible not, as long as it make sense and the answer makes sense to me.
( i got riddle from my french friend so maybe there r no light in the trains in France. )

Aha! But there are trains in France with lights - I know because I used one once.
Actually I was travelling through some tunnels. Without any lethal consequences I might add.
