Acorn:
What the media haven’t mentioned is the Brighton line closed / reduced for six hours. I wonder what compensation the operator will be charged -
I’ve got some facts and figures for a twenty-year-old incident involving a car transporter closing the East Coast main line for seven hours. That bill was a tad over £1,000,000 (plus interest), so adjusting for inflation, I’d reckon that’s an easy 2 million. No doubt there’s been some frantic manoeuvering by the insurers to see if they can duck out of coughing up.
