In the end, it is a shame that the switch malfunctioned, and it seems to be caused by lack of inspection or something. Plus, I think they should have a time limit on those switches, about ten to fifteen seconds or so(fast trains will pass faster than that) after the switch detects the train passing by...to prevent things like this from occuring.It wasn't that sort of malfunction. It was a crossover to allow single-line working in an emergency, and therefore shouldn't have been moving at all. The problem was that the track maintenance people hadn't done their job properly. |
