An Old  Godgeress !!!
I'm getting there..
I do not count out my coins at the checkout.. yet.
However I do not do reverse parking in car parks..
I always arrive very early for my appointments..
... 'I remember when' is something I say often and 'Things were better back when I was young'.
Those around me seem so much younger.. 
Doctors ..Police and Teachers don't look old enough to be out on their own..

Quote from: klondike on June 22, 2026, 11:17:31 AMI thought there were safeguards if a signal was missed.
Not on every signal. A device was invented around 1999 and was widely installed, but the places where it was installed were subject to risk assessment. Signals placed along lines where there are no points or junctions do not normally qualify - it's the driver's job to observe signals and stop the train. I gather this was such a signal.

I understand from another forum that the stationary train had stopped to report a fault. It may or may not have any bearing on the tragic accident.

There should be data recordings and possibly CCTV of activity, which will help the investigators determine what happened.

In one respect he did unite the country - most of the electorate agreed and the football fans even had an anthem for him.  :rolleyes:
