ignoring everything else, it is without doubt the actions of the traincrew, signaller, control and station staff have prevented a far more serious event. Those individuals whether publicly or privately need recognising for their actions. They have saved countless lives.
Tragic as the accident was, and it’s sad it resulted in a loss of life but pure common sense tells you not to stick your head out of a window. Millions of people safely travelled on a train with droplight windows over the years, but the action of one irresponsible person warrants a train...
Every operator does it! All depends on time around times and headway. What's better..... one part cancelled train skipping stations to get back on schedule or ever increasing delays for the remainder of the day
And the fix would be slashing the timetable to increase turnaround times. No...
Whatever they say will be wrong! They’ve told passengers the options available, it’s up to the individual to make a choice.

LNER aren’t the only ones then! GWR seem now to make up roles and appoint new managers/director to them on a weekly basis. There’s even Wellbeing Managers! There’s one simple solution to significantly increasing wellbeing but this is probably not the thread!
