Why do press and reports always say 'the train crashed into...' making it sound like the railways'/driver's fault? What are they meant to do about it?
Of course if it WAS the railways fault there'd be days of ambulance chasing and press speculation, a myriad of reports and imposition of cost and complete retraining of the workforce, probably a few people dragged up in court, followed by risk assessment whether such things should be allowed in the first place. All peppered by the likes of Louise Christian and Bob Crow making out the whole thing was a deathrap in the name of profits.
The real deathtraps are these huge trucks, which kill 100s every year, progressively allowed and lobbied for so the hauliers can make more profit. I suspect very little risk assessment is carried out should these things ever collide with a car or heaven forbid a train, and certain none would be carried out for movements over level crossings.
I suspect the whole thing will be forgotten about in a couple of days.
Hope all that were injured recover soon, and the person responsible gets a long jail sentence as a lesson to the other thickos that take chances day in and day out.
