Shocking ... quite frankly I think it's a miracle only 1 person lost their life.
Richard Branson was visibly shaken by it all during the on site interview. Seems these trains were built extremely well and sustained little damage despite first impressions of the accident. Every credit to the safety teams working on the carriage design.
So, Muppet Rail dropped the ball again? Defective tracks? Our rail system seems to be a joke compared to our neighbours in Europe.
On a sidenote the price to travel on the bloody things is nothing short of scandelous. I'm off to London in March for a few days, enquired about tickets ... one hundred and bloody twenty five feckin quid ... per person, return.
What?? Where's the incentive to use the rail system, really?

Privatisation...grumble....British Public Transport stuck in the 1800's...corrupt companies...fat cats...grumble.
All valid points...

Aye ... I could probably fly to London for less than taking the train ... go figure.
£50 sounds a lot. In 2000 I got a return journey on a Virgin train from Preston to Euston station for the same price ...

6 hours from Preston to London? You're lucky, especially for that price. I was due to go into Wales a few weeks ago, it was a 10/11 hour journey and about £50
Thing is the time and day I'm going is fairly specific. I need to be there for around tea-time ish on a friday eve, leaving here sometime in the morning/aft.
Anyway, in the end I went for a different option ... £22 for a return journey on a coach. Yeah, the journey takes a hell of a lot longer (about 6 hours, stopping for a break in Birmingham), but I don't get my pants pulled down over the price.

You should be able to get much cheaper than that. The prices drop way down after 6pm and at weekends.
