Just read the press release from the RMT about the Great Western Railway coming back into public ownership. According to it, the Government have set up a company and applied for certification to take the railway back 'in house'.

Can you explain how press release containing fact, quotes and references to previous events pertaining to events since privatisation and then a few quotes from Bob Crow is 'jumping the gun' please?
Cos I'm struggling to see where you are coming from...

(04 Apr 2016, 8:19 am)S813 FVK wrote Trains involved are units 150219 + 150249 and powercar 43160 - the vehicle on the other end is unknown.

It is believed that the pair of 150s were operating 2E68 (1339 Penzance - Exeter St David's) with the 43 believing to have arrived on 5A91 (1500 Laira Depot to Plymouth) but ran earlier so actually got to Plymouth at 1500 rather than departing the depot at that time. If this is correct, it means that the 43 set would have been in the platform 34 minutes before 2E68 arrive at Plymouth which it did at 1534.

Even if the HST did leave the depot early, it was due to leave for Paddington a few minutes after the crash.

We are not a prosecuting body and do not apportion blame or liability.

Also the investigation hasn't been completed yet so I'm not sure how you think RAIB have done so??

I basically quoted the bones of the article

(21 Jun 2016, 10:50 am)northern156 wrote Oh dear Andreos, that looks like typical newspaper type speak! Cringe!

Train derailed on trap/catch points designed to do just that job if a train passes a signal at danger. I've seen rumours the signal was 'put back' after a possible error by the signaller(s), but that is no more than a rumour. Full details, as always, will be available in the appropriate RAIB report when issued.
