Yet another reminder that what LoS needs is not a high-speed train but a functioning MODERN railway system.

Modern as in 20th century European.....

.. I also suggest run by people with functioning brains...

Where I spend a lot of my time up in Scotland, the line is largely single track between

Fort William and the Glasgow side of loch Lomond with only a few passing spots.

 

I've only taken the train a few times as I usually drive, but a couple of times the train 

has had to stop and back up because there's another train coming the other way.

 

Signal failure and or driver error happens frequently in the UK even in the 21st century, it

seldom makes the news unless a couple of trains bump into each other.

I'm surprised they didn't blame this one on GPS. Maybe give it a day or two and they will ????

Even if there is a chance of a "fluke" :))

A train derailed in Australia within the last couple of weeks but it was just a fluke.

The trains were running on time (into each other).
