Guided “came off tracks and landed in a field” say police at incident this morning. MORE: t.co/5oIPsoS9Qj
I read somewhere that this white heffelump guided trackway is already seriously falling apart, the whole thing strikes me as a utopian ■■■■■■■■■ for some apparatachik with too big a budget, which went to his head, that had to be ■■■■■■ it up the wall on something that sounded environmentally good or lose the funding to some other eggheads pointless scheme.

Looking at the photos, most of the cab destruction appears to be down to the efforts of Trumpton to extract the driver.

Works well enough on a car with a long bonnet stuck out in front.
Not so effective in trucks or buses.

That’s why you never see one truck tail-gating another.
