Do the railways ever suffer bonfire night related problems (not including overcrowding for events)
What would happen if some idiot threw a firework into a train and it exploded? Are there firealarms etc in there?

"Unit disintegrated" doesn't sound good. Not good at all.Set 380103 severely damaged last night at Kilwinning,Ayrshire. "Unit disintegrated" according to postings on Scot-rail.co.uk

*groan* . you do get some planks that want to cause trouble and will use any excuse to do so, i was delayed between donny and lincoln about 3 or 4 years ago because some bozo was shooting rockets at passing trains. just out of interest would a petrol tanker have issues ( like explosion or fire) due to some chump indulgeing in the above activity?
Looking at the crash on the M5 isnt there a railway track that goes under the M5?.
Surely the police should be asking any TOC or freight company if there drivers noticed anything when going past the Rugby club around that time.
