Well, Chit-Chat does seem a little empty lately...
This is not good :(

I don't think any of us travel that route regularly - especially at that time of day.Quote:

Not good news, though. :(
At least it's optimistic that none of our loved ones were hurt......still sad though!
:( why are you all so pessimistic about this?
Because it's what we're good at :rolleyes:Quote:

How bout you stop contemplating that there's a possibility that some of the vbforum members might have been there. I meant that.
Being concerned for people must be something that frogs can't understand.
Aust. trains go so slow it is hard to tell the difference between moving and standing still... but I do remember having to stop midway on a TGV trip from Paris to Bordeaux becos someone had put an object across the track... I wonder how they find out about these things in time to do anything about it.
oh did I mention that I was in first class :D :D
but had to go to the rear bistro to get lunch cos I wouldve needed to take out a loan to buy lunch :eek:
They probably have sensors, cameras, etc. on it somewhere.Quote:

So what do they do? Build bigger, better trains. Now we will have the luxury of double-thick padding and a/c while we are stuck at Cowan or some such no-man's-land...:rolleyes:Quote:

Also, not meaning to belittle the accident, but that's pretty ****ing lucky - only 7 deaths...:eek:
I think the worst we've had in Oz was at Granville back in the 80's (?) lost about 100 ppl or so... maybe more, I forget, but it was lots.
Yeah it was but I though was happened in 79.Quote:
