Pretty shocking really. Thank God it wasn't in service at the time.

The same place where recently a double decker lost its top deck by trying to go under the bridge that by-passes this LC.

The tractor before him must have gone through on yellow, surely?

Just as well the signallers had as much as 30 seconds to spot him. Fine and 9 points seems too light really.

Exactly why he should have been given the full twelve points.

Could you not simply send him a PM rather than hijack this thread?

Anyways...
well done signallers, otherwise the story would be about cleaning up bits of bus....
And possibly a written off train

That wouldn't have written a train off, nothing travels through that area fast and buses are somewhat flimsier than the front end of a 66 or a 90, the only trains that rock through there at any kind of pace.
