hock:
Lucky there were only minor injuries.
As usual, it's only a minor story hardly worthy of mention, as it was on the roads not rails.
Aren't there strict controls about what routes buses (and, indeed road vehicles in general) can use? Are they not properly gauged/cleared for the routes? :?
No wonder the Government wants to replace trains with buses - they're cheaper, and why are they cheaper? because they're much less safe and much more likely not to follow proper procedures. it's not a level playing field.
Will there be an investigation? Nope. If 4 people had died, as in Hatfield, would there be a £8m investigation then? Nope. Is this a major story? Nope. Does the HSE care? Nope.
