Train crashed in Bromsgrove.

I presume the loco was a banker on the Lickey incline ?



A passenger train crashed into a derailed locomotive because a driver became distracted by "personal issues linked to Covid-19," a report found.

The 21:05 Cardiff Central to Birmingham New Street service collided with a class 66 locomotive on 23 March near Bromsgrove station, Worcestershire.

The driver of the locomotive was distracted by texts following the announcement of lockdown restrictions.

Nobody was hurt, but the passenger train was significantly damaged.
