LNERW1 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I have to say I'm confused? The headlines describe it as a tragic accident, but the Independent article says it was a minor level crossing incident with no serious injuries, and the other story just says it was a “tragic accident” and goes into no detail. Are these referencing two different incidents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironroad Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 They seem to be separate incidents. A stolen waste disposal truck drove through the lowered level crossing gates in Sutton and that caused suspension of service between Howth Junction and Howth. The second incident which caused suspension of service on the main line occurred at Howth Junction and I would deduce this was much more serious and probably a fatality. Comment is usually quite reserved in such cases. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comment is usually quite reserved in such cases. Also worth noting, both links were to live articles, so the bodies of the articles were subject to change. At the time of sharing the links here, there was no mention at all of the stolen bin lorry nor Sutton Cross nor anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused because the two articles seemed to be referencing two incidents, but as they both seemed to have a similar location I thought they may have been two different perspectives of the same accident, one seemingly more informed, ie had clarified there were no fatalities. Unfortunately, I think you might be right about a seperate tragic occurence. I suppose we should not be surprised there are fatalities on the network, but it in no way diminishes the seriousness of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K801 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 who ever drove a bin lorry thru a closed level crossing ( there must have been a train approaching) that could of caused hundreds of injuries and fatalities needs to be found and prosecuted on multiple attempted murder charges of whoever was on that train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironroad Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 They were arrested at the scene, what the DPP does is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
