I honestly and sincerely feel for the family involved.

Of the train driver.

And said train driver.

Taking a life like that cannot be nice, regardless that they were pondscum. I hope he doesn't suffer any ill effects from this incident.

The articles states 68 mph. Was he doing 70-75 and slammed on and they just made up a speed?

I can't really tell from the picture from the direction of travel but it looks like the train had come from the really long straight, how did they not see the train.

That almost certainly isn't the train that hit them, it's much later in the day and the train wouldn't have been able to stop anywhere near the scene of the accident (aka suicide by stupidity). At 4am it was almost certainly a freight train on the other set of lines (where all the workers are) that hit them.

The train pictured is not wrong line working, those are two sets of double tracks - and it is running on the 'left' of that double set.

My thoughts are with the train driver. Although if I was him, I'd imagine I would feel a whole lot better after I found out who I hit.

This story is several months old, there were LOADS of FB groups mocking these bits of tenderised low grade meat.

If I remember rightly, there was one called "RIP Quad Bikes frown" etc laugh

Did any of his mates actually keep a record of how long he hung on for?

He may well have got the record.

Also from the other thread:


From Facebook

"If a train leaves the station headed south travelling at 80 mph, and a
stolen quadbike is headed north along the same tracks at 30 mph, how
long does it take to scrape Trevor and Davids remains off the raliway
line?"

Read the whole article and still didn't find out how long he held on for. If it was 7 days or something then his death was kind of noble in a way..

If it was 15 seconds then he died a pointless death.
