In the light of the train crash 17th October 2000, in Hatfield, wouldn't it be time to say DO SOMETHING!

Tracks need repair, trains are getting old, and we are told that the crash was caused by either broken track, a broken wheel or a broken axel. Surely now something should be done to improve our lines and trains. A great deal of money was given to the railways to sort out problems such as these, yet we see another crash, not as bad as some in the past, but still people lost their lives, which is not acceptable.

The emergency services did a fantastic job as always, yet the uninjured people where not even seen by the train company and offered alternative transport home, as one woman on GMTV this morning (18/10/00) stated, they were just expected to get another train. These people should have at least offered these people the chance to call home at no cost, as many had lost their bags in the crash.

A speed limit has been imposed on all trains, but something else needs to be done.
