Question:
I cannot believe my eyes when it is reporting that the driver of the crashed Pendolino was 'praised by Richard Branson for trying to STEER the train to safety'. How does that work then?

I'm not clear whether Branson actually said 'steer' or whether this was made up by the 12 year old muppets who now edit News 24. He didn't say it on the interview I saw on the ITN evening news, but praised the driver for staying at his post and trying to slow the train down once he realised it was off the rails.

Listen when a train comes off the tracks it is going to go the way it wants, no matter what the driver tries to do, the fact that so many people survived the tragic accident is due to the modern construction of the rolling stock.
