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.
Probably not far off, and much of that is often uninsured do straight off the operators bottom line
And drivers wonder why they get delayed for sneaking under a bridge contrary to the signage. It’s bad business, let alone bad driving.
