The train in question has fantastic CCTV equipment but no camera angle looks outside, again the system has limited time capacity so it would recycle hard disk space overwritten oldest first. Platform CCTV is not provided at GCD
In the event of a rail safety incident or witnessing a defect on a train the first port of call is the driver, guard or the first member of station staff you find. Note the evening before the still unexplained Potters Bar derailment in London a passenger had reported a rough ride at that point.
To there credit the one time I had to report a incident, missing pantograph wipper blade the member of staff confirmed the train details with me and picked up the phone.
Details or no details each incident should be reported and an overshoot of a suburban type train is serious my point is (and having read too many accident reports) is the truth gets lost in a muddle of poor inconsistent evidence.
