Cumbria rail crash/ dodgy point work

Cumbria rail crash in the light of day, more than one coach is off the line since the evening of the 23rd reports. Only one fatality still one too many though. Richard Branson says "The Pendolino train was built like a tank!" A ground Frame set of points are the hint to a possible reason for the derailment? this area was to be worked on over the weekend also so could this have any connection to the incident? As it was guessed at the time the ground frame points failed and the contractors missed a broken strecher bar just as they did in Potters Bar a few years before.
