A passenger train carrying at least 2,000 people derailed as it was crossing a bridge in Bangladesh on Monday killing five people and injuring more than 100. Television pictures showed two coaches dangling over a muddy canal while three other coaches had toppled sideways next to the track.

I bet the track and/or bridge has not been maintained since the end of the Raj....

Is it not customary on this forum to express condolences to the victims rather than a spurious reference to 'the Raj'?
