"The Freightliner locomotive appeared to have approached a set of points at high speed, a Network Rail spokesman said.
He said that this caused the tracks to buckle, damaged wooden sleepers and brought down some overhead cables.
"You are meant to approach points at a relatively low speed," the spokesman said. "But it looks like that move was taken at a high speed and, as a result, the train has derailed."
Not quite sure how to read this statement from a Network Rail Spokesman on the BBC? Would there have been warning signs, speed limitations or signalling if this were the case? If so does this imply the driver was at fault? Can anyone shed some light on this please.
Many thanks
Regards
Phil
