So is it the intention of these deliberate derailers, or catch points
as those of us not in the press know them, to cause the train to
smash into an overhead wire support with such force that it bends in
two? What would be the result if the driver, who was presumably in
the cab at the time, or passengers had been killed or seriously
injured as a result?

Is this another feature of the signalling design that gave us the Ladbroke
Grove crash? Looks like stupidity piled on stupidity.

How many other London Terminal approaches have derailers to handle SPADs?
