This article has various errors. This the third major accident in 18 months on this line as there were two fatalities when a train ran into the rear of another at Castelar. The regulators for rail safety who are responsible to the Transport Minister seem to have done sweet f.a. about looking after thier passengers.
Regardingthe crash 18 months ago itis this recording that is “irreparably ” damaged. The driver involved in that crash was later murdered by persons unknown
The CCtv disc from the latest crash was recovered from the drivers personal knapsack from the hospital where he was beeing treated. He had apparently smashed open the camera and purloined it. Or was that a plant?
Cries ofits sabotage all round. In other words its always someone elses fault
Chrissy apparently hasnt been told about it. Doesnt she have a TV set in her room or is she too ill to watch it?
So much so for Chrissy being in charge and Boudou just doing the ceremonial duties as president
Can one believe any information at all disseminated by this government?

Oh, damn!

I was just going to say that they clearly think the trains can now fly!

Now we will see:
1) ALL the existing drivers will fail the new tests, and;
2) to be replaced by Air Force Pilots who HAVE passed the test but don't know one end of a train from the other.

Oooohhh! Just spotted a flaw here: the DRIVER'S don't know one end of a train from the other as well.
