well i am very surprised theres no casuties currently :) wouldnt of been the case with the old intercity 125's, the new virgin penduleos and voyager trains are very safe and well designed :D

still only one death. working for a regional news paper that covers cumbria as well my native north east I was literaly meters away from the train yesterday with my camera in tow, the wreck is shocking, more should have been killed, what is amazing is the lack of damage to the train, this accident actualy makes me feel safer traveling on one or Mr.Bransons trains. if it wasnt for the drivers actions and the build of the train I think we are looking at a few dozen deaths.

any one who can get a copy of the sundaysun get one, one of my pictures is on the front page. you wont get it if you live south of north yorshire or the lakes. a few place's north of the border sell it to.

I live in Cumbria and had never heard of the place. Apparently I've passed it often enough. But then, I don't know half of the street names around this block. Meh.
