Spain Train Crash

Maybe not a 'chillout' subject.

But the reports I'm reading say that both trains were travelling from Madrid to Seville and one ran into the back of the other but the pic seems to show them on different lines ... strange. I've often thought of the consequences of two high speed trains coming together if at full speed. With both at speed travelling toward each other the approach speed is in excess of 360mph with only a few feet between them! At least one of these was stationary.

I travelled that line a couple of years ago.

high speed trains concern me - to easy for a 'bad actor' to corrupt the signalling or change the points or do something very very unpleasant

RIP those affected in Spain.

The Derailment caused by Impact, the Tubes are Run automatically except Piccadilly and Bakerloo Lines, Some National Rail lines here like Thameslink and a few others are, Spain is Auto Technology at High Speeds at one time they wanted to get rid of Drivers, now you see all these ignorant people calling for Automatic Trains to stop Strikes, i dont know what happened but am sure Technology has played a part here
