Paddington C5 program

A series about Paddington station started last night. They showed video of
the HST derailment there along with recovery efforts which was pretty
interesting and enlightening (especially the poor track workers having to
work in human waste). Apparently the cause was track spread due to rotten
sleepers. You'd think someone might have checked but I guess they didn't
expect much to happen at 5mph.
The problem wasn't just the rotten sleepers but whoever thought that right
next to the trap points was a good place to locate a vital electrification
gantry.
