Hi Peter,
I have been told, second hand, the police are going to prosecute, the SVR
are suing for loss of revenue and damages to the 150 tons of lovingly
maintained, serviced bit of scrap that BR got rid of, that I own part of!!!
And have enjoyed firing and driving a few thousand milles.
From a personal point of view, I hope the driver has his license removed for
a long time. Ignorance like that, endangers his life, and more important,
lives of the travelling public.
I must get off this soapbox!!
Dave.

Does anyone know if the car owner (or to be precise, their insurance
company) has been sued for damaging the train by driving onto the crossing?
I know it happened in the Gary Hart case at Heck, but how about the SVR,
RH&D and so on?
It surprised me that the Heck crash didn't see any of teh arguments that
appeared in the Engineer aired, about the safety of a push - pull scheme,
but that wouldn't apply on a real railway with steam...
