I worked on one of the UK's railways and removing articles from the track is absolutely saturated with bylaws and regulations. You need a license to be able to remove stuff from the tracks, and you need get the line blocked. It would be so easy to just get a litterpicker and pick it up, but if you do that, say bye to your job. The guy in the cab likely had a PTS license so he can go down on the tracks and perform duties, I assume the driver would have called the signaller to confirm what they were doing just in case, just an unusual way of getting it done.
He should never do that. Ever. That’s dangerous. The rails down there carry a very powerful live current that could mean something horrible if God forbid a human were exposed to it. Serious injury or even death. Those tube trains have communication systems on them that route directly to control centres at each and every station for a reason.
That looked a bit dangerous to me. I don't know for sure if the random object was just a sheet of paper, if there were any metallic layers on top, it could be conductive and gave the conductor an electric shock the moment he picked it up.
Otherwise it should be a disservice. So they had few steps: They opened a cab door, they removed an ad from track and they returned to the normal positions (closed cab door).
