Tube train set off the wrong way down tunnel
What can you say apart from this guy is never allowed to play with my railway! http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/dominionpost/4096135a4560.html

Nice to see the press acting predicatbly again. Hyperbole and mis-information once more... I recently read a couple of bits of safety documentation relating to this incident. First, it appears the guy collapsed in the cab with his hand still on the dead-man's handle. The brakes were released accidentally and the train rolled back down the tunnel. A bit of good fortune meant the following train wasn't in the next station back when the train sped through. The driver managed to drive the train into a station where he effectively signed off. Further investigations pending. The other document related to the safety of the anti-rollback system that wasn't fitted to this train... :roll: Steph

Ahhhhhhhh, the power of the press. I could almost guarantee that nothing of the cause will be reported. It is like all the level crssing accidents. The train swerved out of its way to hit the car/truck at the level crossing. Its never the truck/car drivers fault! John
