Have you considered the political angle from which the reporting may coming from (on a subliminal level perhaps, but still a general BBC bias) (ie: Privitised rail companies are killing people for money that should be spent on safety)?

Not that it actually makes much difference. But I'll be damned if I let you get away with such moralising zeal without at least one comment being made.

Considering that trains are currently about 8 times safer than cars, the BBC run the serious risk in that case of increasing the UK transport fatality rate.



and anyway, in the main part it isn't privatised rail companies who are; in general; responsible for the kind of safety failure that results in accidents; it's the maintainer of the permanent way -- Network Rail.
