Carpet,
I think you'd be safe on a train with him!!
On another note:
Potters Bar is only one stop down the line from Hatfield!!
It's definitely a case of too little too late by the government. They put in speed restrictions for a few weeks and annoy loads of commuters, but nothing will be put in place afterwards to actually prevent this sort of tragedy from happening again.

Sky news reporting 3 dead and up to 50 injured, 12 seriously. Looks nasty from the pics on the tv, one of the carriages is on it's side on the platform. The injured are being taken to Barnet hospital.
Not all the injured were on the train, some possibly on the platform and below the bridge on the road.
