Could this have something to do with, at time of posting, almost 1500 people viewing this thread?Careful. Sky News have just quoted this site as a source of their information. Paraphrasing “Rail Uk as an online forum for trainspotters”.
Journalists have been using online forums as an information source for 20+ years as some forums are populated by very knowledgable people. The classic example is PPRuNe (Professional Pilot's Rumour Network) which is probably the best source of "what really happened" in aviation incidents, accidents and crashes.Sky news using an online forum as a source, words fail.
This forum is widely used within the rail industry and is highly ranked on Google, though I would disagree with what/who they think this forum is for, but that's not a discussion for this thread so I won't comment further on that here.Careful.

News services want to be first with the news and not right with the news. Any bit of information no matter how truthful or not will get used.Sky news using an online forum as a source, words fail.

The train was running right line at the time, so the speed limit applicable would be HST75.When running wrong road, what speed limit applies?
What object are those coaches resting on? Either way, it looks very bad. My thoughts are with those involved.from Twitter
Reported here, on LBC, and other news sites as 6 passengers and 3 crew.That looks awful. That explains the smoke. I am just praying COVID restrictions kept this train very empty.
Ah, okay. It had been suggested that it was running wrong road.The train was running right line at the time, so the speed limit applicable would be HST75.
I know exactly what you mean - I went to Stonehaven last Monday.I’m in total shock at this. It’s a stretch of line I’ve used many times which I think is why it’s having a bigger impact on me than past accidents.

The train in question had crossed over the 15mph crossover at Carmont SB to run back towards Aberdeen on the right line (Down).Ah, okay. It had been suggested that it was running wrong road.
