My friends in Bundy are ok! Their houses are fine! I'm so relieved for them.
And yeah, how no one was more seriously hurt in the train crash is a miracle. There was a girl trapped in the female toilets at the station, and they said that if there'd been anyone in the male toilets next door, they'd be dead.
When I posted it, I admit, I thought of you Min. :P I thought you might appreciate the craziness that is QR!

Yeah, most fb people can probably imagine my reaction. I was talking to some ppl at work downstairs and the manager just suddenly cuts into the conversation with 'A train just crashed into Cleveland station. What?'
Cue the rush to his desk - saw the infamous picture - found out nobody was seriously injured - and started laughing. Could not stop. Laughed all the way upstairs. Told the dev team. Laughed some more. It's just...crazy. Hopeless crazy. [act]is sitting on train while typing this, hoping that the brakes hold out for my trip home[/act]
Maybe - just maybe this may finally prompt an investigation into what they offer and charge quite a bit for vs what we actually receive from them.
Prepare for more train craziness, Min. From what they said on the news tonight, train drivers are refusing to drive that model of train because of braking concerns - and that makes up about 1/3 of their fleet...
Wow, that's a bit of a worry if one third of the trains have brake issues. :S
Glad to hear that you guys up north are doing okay and keeping safe. Let's hope that this crazy weather settles down soon.
Oh my god, Loren - lol. Just...lol.
