Last post by muddy - Yesterday at 11:47:29 AMI do feel a bit for him ( I don't know why )
Maybe because I don't like to kick a man when he's down .

General Discussion / Re: Bad train crash
Last post by muddy - Yesterday at 11:45:11 AMOnlookers say there was no noise of braking so the driver obviously thought the track was clear .
I suspect it's something Technical gone wrong .
It very sad
For the driver his time had come
Hie story is over .

General Discussion / Re: Bad train crash
Last post by klondike - Yesterday at 11:17:31 AMQuote from: Ashy on Yesterday at 08:58:18 AMWhilst I agree that it could be a signal failure it could also be a driver's error,I thought there were safeguards if a signal was missed.
Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:39:13 AMI haven't heard anything about why the first train had stopped and was blocking the track?Trains do stop during journeys. They are signalled to do so until the path ahead is clear. That's probably why that one was.
Seems an odd thing to do?
There's no point me guessing though as I don't know much about the system and nothing about this incident. It will come out in the investigation fairly quickly I imagine. Several papers pictured the driver who is well beyond the first flush - perhaps they suspect something. I'd be more inclined to suspect a system failure somewhere though as it is supposed to have numerous safeguards.
