Re: Derailment at OLYMPIC PARK.

[Don Allitt <nahgfa@zeta.org.au>]

This is my last attempt to explain. My original posting was I thought it would
be a better idea to have 2 roads in and 2 roads out all the way from the
mains.This would give faster movement times in peak conditions and as in the
case of the derailment the other day it would not of happened.If the Olympics
had of been on, running a train in terminating and going back would be a
disaster THE END.
