I hope the driver is ok. I hope anyone who may have been in that back cab are ok.

Our TOC supplies telephone numbers for signallers in case of emergency. TVSC are happy to be contacted that way if necessary. So long as you have GSMR-GB you will still receive RECs. What happened the other day for my TOC was that most if not all trains were held at signals. Protocol...
