An excellent record of a sad occurance. I was working in the depot on the right of the footage that day. Heard the bang from the roadbridge whilst driving. Two things Iremember were the Ambulances on the North Circular and returning to work on the Sunday I was greeted with the eerie silence of the Railway

Dont mean to be disrespectful to the people who died but that would have been one hell of an exciting crash to watch live at 125mph

This is the video live.

[1madaboutguitar]

@callofpaul Its fake but thanks anyway

[callofpaul]

@1madaboutguitar oh shit really...sorry man looked real to me :S

[1madaboutguitar]

@callofpaul Dont be sorry, it was just a simulation, not the actual crash

[CharlieeXD]

@1madaboutguitar I agree. I mean, there must have been someone on the platform as it happened. Can you just imagine what would be going through your head if you saw that? Insane.

why is there a 37 with 1967 tube stock

[veolia215]

@thetrainsrock Being taken for refurbishment or for scrap

[veolia215]

@thetrainsrock actually that is 1973 stock so i think it was being taken away to be refurbished

[thetrainsrock]

@veolia215 oh but why is it with a 37 on a mainline and not at its lu depot

[A60stock]

@thetrainsrock The tube stock was being hauled by a class 37 to Adtranz, Derby, for refurbishment
