Stolen train chrasched through house
 

3:25 this night, when no ordinary traffic runs, a train was reported stolen from Neglinge. It was soon found inside a house at the end station Saltsjöbaden.
According to Arriva, the operator, it was a cleaner that stole the train and manage to drive it onto the line. The cleaner had to be cut out from the train wreck. None of the four residents was injured.
The police are investigating it as "devastation endangering the public"

I will update you with picture after a visit to Saltsjöbaden.

At that time of night she had probably missed the last bus!

No :)
The first and last bus to Saltsjöbaden arrives Neglinge at 03:14 :) and the accident happened before that (I know It says 3.25 but that was the time when they realised someone had stolen a train. The accident happended at 02:38
And that bus probably didn't reach its final destination because of all the rescue vehicles.

Here's a song all about it ;)

The latest news (and not only from the media but from different internal sources I know) is that the cleaner might be innocent. The train might have been parked with the safety pedal (dead mans pedal) pushed down and the lever in Neutral to have it parked with released brakes to avoid the brakes to freeze causing the train to get stuck. In this mode the train will start if you pull the lever forward. And that can happen by mistake when you enter the car through the drivers cab. You need to push the drivers seat forward to pass through the door. And the seat can push the lever forward.

The injured woman is not yet questioned as she is still kept under sedation for her injuries.

Other sources state that she wasn't found in the drivers cab, but further back.

Poor woman, I can imagine how she must have panicked! :eek:

Today the last car was lifted away after pieces of it was cut away and the building was stabilized.
It will be investigated by the police, Arriva, Stockholm Public Transport and The Swedish Accident Investigation Board and then sent to be scrapped.
