Train Fire at Victoria

Don't have a f**king go at me.

If you feel that the phrases "Don't you feel that ..." and "I suggest"
have that interpretation, then I think you're a tad over-sensitive.

At 8.10 this morning a co worker announced that the front coach
of his train went up in flames at Victoria. The office is at
Vauxhall so I guess that this happened between 7.45 and 7.55.
And you are saying why didn't any news organisation pick it up.
It had happened in the previous 15 minutes.

I'm saying that at 14:58 (the time of my previous post in this thread),
nearly 7 hours later, there was no sign of any news report on the BBC or
Evening Standard web sites, or Google news, nor was there any sign of
service disruption earlier today on the National Rail site, which would
have occurred with a major explosion/fire incident.

You can't report any rail related incident now for fear of setting
the train spotters off on one.

If you post on utl, don't complain if people want to know more, or if
your "incident" appears to have been grossly exaggerated.

Have you asked your colleague what really happened yet?
