See the thread that's been running since Saturday in uk.railway.
The story isn't bunkum, but it's better to quote a news organ
rather than a comic. It's also not clear that his fast was the
main cause of the error; he was new on the line, which was
probably a more important factor.


Oh sure all the new guys run a double red light...WTF??


Out of interest, what IS a double red? I cannot recall ever seeing
one on the railway...


Signal SN6004 was clearly visible, but the driver did not realise that
it applied to his train, so he drove past it although it was showing
two red lights, meaning ‘Stop’.
