Ouch. Glad to see he's doing okay though!
Noticed Richard Branson on the news earlier saying how good a driver he was for apparently steering the train as safely as he could after it hit the points...

Will that bloody great thing on his head be removed at some point?

Anyway, great to see he's alright and on the mend.

Woah, a tad insensitive...

Nice to see he is ok, but I dont get how he could steer the pendo =S

That is what I was always wondering, Branson called him a hero for remaining in his cab to 'steer' the train after the derailment when really he would have only been a passenger himself after the points. Nonetheless, it's good to see he is out of hospital and going to make a good recovery.

It's called PR.

Glad to see that he's out, let's hope for a full recovery.

Erm, not really. I was just wondering.
