Sorry I was talking there. Cannon Street was the trigger because they believed he'd been on the wacky backy.
I think Moorgate saw the introduction of fixed train stops at Terminus Platforms where if the train doesnt slow down to a certain speed when entering the platform it gets tripped and emergency brakes apply which effectively prevents that happening again.

Blimey, you'd think someone would have thought of that YEARS ago.

That leaves me quite shocked to be honest.

We tend to be more reactive than proactive when it comes to safety. Look at the Titanic. Same in the oil industry.

If one of these oil tankers had an accident in a built up area then this whole debate would be looked at in a different light.
