Blaming drivers for rail accidents is and probably will always be a convenient
copout for rail administrations who really dont want to do anything to improve
safety on their railways.
It staggers me that in 1998 that we still have safeworking systems comprising
signals which do NOTHING to stop a train if it goes past the red signal.
At least in the good old suburban areas we have the train stops.
You cant tell me that in this day & age there is not a suitable electronic
equivalent of the train stop that could be installed on non suburban lines.
But no , we are going to train orders , just one level above no safeworking at
all.
Where will it end.
