How likely do you think that *actually* would be? Particularly to anyone
familiar with the dangers of the railway?


I've no way of calculating, but it certainly isn't something I would
discount simply because it has not been considered in a mass media
report of an incident

Friends who do PW stuff have told me some horror stories about dedicated
look-outs screwing up (to the extent they walked off the job), so who
knows how non-specialists would get on?

And while an individual only has to be lucky the once, the company has
to be lucky every time.
