So sad that lives have been lost.
Tragic.

looking at the extent of the accident i'm surprised there weren't more fatalities

The Brave driver turned back
but then another landslip started
it all went so fast.


Its a shame as the amount of Flooding in Scotland
the night before was a massive warning.


So far 3 dead
including the driver

They need to Fly Drones
and check tracks before the trains start.

Ch4HDnews reported the Conductor also died

6 are in hospital not in a bad way, though.

That's even more sad to hear about the driver turning back.

You would never expect to go to work and die. How horrible in this day and age

He was doing his job.
Reversing from one landslip,
only to find another one just starting.


Brave driver
they lost
and a Conductor

Awful tragedy.
Their families will be distraught too.
Brave indeed arista he was.

There weren't many people on the train, apparently.

How many people were actually on this train. I’m starting the think Scotrail Is underused and overfunded

It was the 6.20am train.

well they shouldnt have a 6:20am train if there’s like 5 passengers.
Would have saved these poor men’s lives too.
Shame on Scotrail.

ScotRail have no control
over Extreme Weather.


I would use Drones to go down the lines
in the future.

China's Covid-19
has changed the amount of workers that commute

Indeed... UserSince appears to have forgotten that (thankfully, in this case) many people are still working from home because of Covid. If that has been a normal pre-covid commuter train there would have been a lot more people on board.

Yes they were 'lucky' it was just outside main commuter time and at a period where trains are very quiet, RIP to the dead

4 have been discharged
from Hospital.

...just awful...3 people leave their homes and families that day for what would seem a ‘normal day’ and they never return...it’s heartbreaking, I can’t imagine the worlds of their families right now....just so, so tragic...:sad:..

not everyone can work from home though


someone responsible here i suggest take a look at maintenance records of this specific train, maintenance crew for those train-rails too, or look at weather stats like if the track was damaged due to a recent storm what occured before this incident
