A pretty Horific accident, My thoughts are with the people involved and their families.
I had a close Friend who lost his Father in a similar accident a number of years ago

My sympathies are going to the victims
---------------------------------------------


what make me sick is when are the train going to be at least 98% realiable?
how many accident before they get more security on train or a radio connection to prevent accident?
privatisation of the train compagny was the worst mistake ever done.not for th "big fat cat" who will get his bonus at Christmas.

i wish i could see the train compagny Chief on the train at 17.30 bristol- newport everyday.even sardines have got more space in a tin :thinking:

I'm sorry, but last time I checked a car on the track is nothing to do with the Train Company. All that we know is that the train hit the car, and the driver of the train applied the brakes but could not stop in time.

My sympathies go to all involved, and I hope that families have been able to trace their loved ones.

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but does not get you anywhere!

Sorry SEB, that's what I meant, That "iledebrehat" has a very warped sense of concern, Bizarre!
Being an enthusiast for something is all well and good but when that enthusiasm is reflected in greater concern for one 'type of individual' over another then that goes beyond being enthusiastic!
