Default Train Crash

Reports on Sky News about bad train crash in Cumbria Sounds quite bad, it was a Pendilino (spelling?) Virgin train which is the type we went from Brum to Wolves to

Hope it isn't as serious as they are making out

Read it about 20 mins ago, shocking affair. Would put you off travelling on them for life if it happened to me.
Glad it hasnt for obvious reasons as well as the fact I have no car these days and rely on travelling courtesy of the trains until I depart for pastures new.
Doesn't seem to happen too many times these days compared to some shocking incidents a few decades ago.

Still FAR safer than driving from London to Scotland!!!!!! Especially if this happens and everyone gets out.....

I cant understand - every home user videocamera you get nowadays has decent night vision - yet all the news channels can show us is dark pictures of the night!!!

Was shocked to see this on the news yesterday - as I live(d) in London and family live in Lancaster, that's the train I'd catch probably about 10 times a year. Would never have thought they'd be capable of de-railing

Looks like it was down to the tracks as apposed to the train. Same old story I guess.
