Because safety is now a consideration.
Safety can be accommodated without increasing the timescale of dealing with an incident. For instance a bad motorway crash can be cleared up in half a day including investigations removing damaged vehicles and cargo
This was a simple derailment no injuries or fatalities so surely an inspection of the track to assess damage bring in the breakdown crane or jacks depending whats needed remove the derailed train and get the track repaired safety is about following correct procedures surely not making it take a long time ?
As for the report in the paper well this should not have been allowed as it prejudices any enquiry into the matter whoever leaked that should face severe disciplinary action
