Just announced on the BBC

That's not far from me. I know the location, lorries cross the track to get from the road to a mill. It's not a public highway.

Glad no one was killed but I hope the tanker was empty - phew!

It was going to a sewage farm it could have been full of........................?:p

HGV driver has already admitted not using the phones prior to crossing and has since been arrested.

All the best,Ian

looks nasty......

I JUST wish the media could get the figures correct as to EXACTLY how many were Actually injured, or even ON the train?

Figures have varied from 10 and up to 31 so far.

The lorry driver was according to the police, Eastern European.
48111

BR social group for locomen
who were on BR.

I dont know why they could not fit a remote controled lock on the gate so it will not open unless the signal box operator releases it

Good idea but who would pay for it networkrail or the local council or even the land owners :confused:

All the best,Ian
