thoughts with those who have suffered in the incident

Looking at the film footage and how issues are done in other countries

Loads of persons near the collision site maybe they could have been passengers on the train or locals.

But when incidents have happened in the U.K. the only persons allowed any where near the site are emergency workers

It's here - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/up-100-feared-injured-russias-volgograd-area-after-passenger-train-derails-say-2024-07-29/

and on a number of other on-line news feeds, including Sky, Daily Mail and Sun.

It seems to be the second incident in just over a month - see https://www.independent.co.uk/news/russia-ap-moscow-b2569774.html

I'm going to step in here, gently, as a moderator to hopefully 'cool things down'.

On the Coffee Shop forum, we encourage members to post about any railway or other public transport issues.  We also encourage anyone who posts to include a link to their source, just because it makes it so much easier for all of other our readers to see the full story.

I hope this clarifies the apparent issue.  Wink

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Like I have said before put me on your ignore list.

Infoman - there is no such ability - there is no 'ignore list'. In order to read a thread, you have to pass through every post within it. You cannot choose which posters to read or ignore.

I'm going to step in here, again gently, as a moderator.

If we were all to not read any of your posts, infoman, we would miss out on a lot of your very informative and useful news items.

All we are asking is that you please just 'copy and paste' a link to the particular news item you are bringing us, in your posts: it would make it so much easier for all of your readers to follow the story.

Chris.

You can find out more about how this forum works [here] - that will link you to a copy of the forum agreement that you can read before you join, and tell you very much more about how we operate. We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
