[edit] Correction needed?
The following was inserted in the article; removed by me just now --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Again I read that the ecs (empty coaching stock) hit the wreckage of the initial crash. This is incorrect. As the Poole hit the rear of the Basingstoke train the ecs was just passing and the coaches of the Poole 'bounced' into the second car of the ecs. The front car with the driver in and the guard who was up front having a chat, was uncoupled from the second car by the crash. If the train had crashed into the wreck the driver and guard would have been seriously injured or even killed. This was not the case and in photographs the front car of the ecs can be seen standing alone clear of the wrecked trains. RW Hind,ex guard and colleague of those involved.
[edit] ATP
There are some weasel paragraphs here suggesting that ATP wouldn't be worth it. *roll eyes* At the very least, such arguments for doing nothing should be sourced. *rolling eyes again* 195.24.29.51 13:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
