Transport
Posted: Mon 29 July, 2013 Filed under: Driving, Media, Public Transport, Travel, Weirdness 1 Comment »What on earth is going on with public transport in Europe this week?
In the last week we’ve had…
- Two trains colliding head-on at Granges-pres-Marnand in Switzerland, injuring at least 40.
- A coach plunging off the road in Avellino in Italy, killing 38 people.
- and of course the train derailment in Spain at Santiago de Compostela, killing 78 people.
There’ve been other things too – the bus in Manchester ripping it’s roof off going under a bridge, for example – but it just seems like public transport is having a really bad time of it at the moment.
It’s very peculiar, isn’t it? All these dreadful events that are completely unconnected, except by synchronicity.
