The driver "managed to contact the control
centre at Network Rail and get the train
diverted onto the slow line", Calder says.
"That was absolutely crucial because this
train was scheduled to be travelling through
Huntingdon station on the tracks with no
platform at 125mph."
"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere,
which would have been very difficult."
Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest
possible way" thanks to the "incredible
professionalism from the driver and the
police". Train drivers are trained on how to
take appropriate action, he adds,
Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”
Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Honoured to have supported the launch of The Black Country and Enslavement with Dr Angelina Osborne and Roger McKenzie for Black History Month. These important books have revealed the historical links between the ironware trade and enslavement in the Black Country.

In a woodcut released today the Guild of Thieves and Cutpurses declared that enforcement of regulations against Thieving and Pursecutting would ‘devastate a growth industry’ and damage the economy.

I’m desperately sorry for staff at these institutions. I’m also sorry it wasn’t news when my institution did it to us two years in a row, 2020-2022.
