I had a fatal in 2007, a P-Way who wasn’t expecting me, I was running ECS and they used me for absolute block through the section to get the road back. Terrible combination of coincidences.
Not had a suicide or civilian accident, but I know drivers into double figures now. The Cotswolds have been seeing more and more, half a dozen in the last three years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The guy I hit was released from a psychiatric hospital into a halfway house in the community the day before, somebody cocked that decision up!

Just catching up guys as my laptop has been acting the billy goat!
Trikey: the 800s are built by Hitachi in Co. Durham and East Midlands Railway has used a local design studio new to rail, not Bombardier, to sort the seats. Time will tell [due in service 2023]! The 800s don't do too well in low speed accidents judging from the one on the depot at Neville Hill Leeds where the 800 travelling at 15 mph hit an HST travelling at 5 mph-a bit of a mess....800 still being repaired Saw an attempted suicide at Derby Station a couple of years ago. As my train [a class 156] trundled along Platform 2 at around 15 mph to stop a woman ran down the stairs and jumped in front... totally failed, only minor physical injuries and was carted off by an ambulance crew and caused great disruption while it was all sorted. Train driver was furious about the disruption to everyone and had to be held back from confronting the suicidal person... |

Going back to original post on Deer. There are many accidents in Germany involving deer. And the deer there are real deer, massive in fact. Only seen two accidents involving deer, but the damage was considerable. Also one has been posted on here a few years ago. B+W had hit it at considerable speed. Pushed the engine back, and what was left of the deer was down the back of the engine bay. Frightening when you see what a live body can do to metal. Even more frightening is the other way round.

Seen up to a dozen deer legging it across the road here and its a busy main road that the Corsa with Halfords stick on customisation brigade treat like a racetrack. There's woodland to the back of here and open scrubland on the shore at the other side of the road.
