General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
So it begs the question how two trains ended up on the same piece of track headed toward each other. I expect the passengers and the drivers family would like to know too.
They didn’t head towards each other. One train was stopped and the other went into the back of it. There must have been a signal passed at danger — would assume some kind of brake failure or bizarre driver error.
RAIB will give us more info when the report comes out
Heading towards eachother? One of them was stationary.
