A Bridge Strike at Kings Langley
On Friday, I went to Liverpool, by train from Euston. Some idiot, then proceeds to get his truck stuck under railway at Kings Langley, which meant that we were delayed by about 30 minutes. It wasn’t as dramatic as the report, but they did have to let the truck tyres down and then drag it out.
It didn’t actually matter to me, as I had six hours to do a couple of hours work, but the companions at my table, had an urgent appointment to do some publicity over a concert I think.
I do hope Network Rail are claiming off the idiot’s insurance policy, as they should have known the height of their truck. I know from seeing the statistics, that bridge strikes are one of the more common causes of delay on the railways.
