Thank you Kite159 for your quick response. As I seem to be too stupid for RTT (via mobile and onboard a train with lousy connection), any information you can provide on the 0652 southwards from Edinburgh this Friday?

I was surprised how fast the cause was clear. But if they communicate it so quickly, it seems to be very obvious and clear. Always good if no long unclear search is needed.
Seems evident he was involved. But everyone else could have helped in the same way. Need not be a policeman.

Hello friends,
Chris here from Germany, working for Deutsche Bahn.
