    That would seem to support LD's post.

    The report states the consultant who is an external consultant found the track to be fit for passenger train running.  It is very easy to say it was not when their is a derailment.  The question is whether Maldon was operating without due diligence of the track condition.

    Clearly Maldon had a report which supported running and a maintenance cycle which was already underway.

    Poor sleepers and excessive rain may have caused the derailment according to another 3rd party.  The report does not state Maldon was not diligent and not undertaking requisite track maintenance.

    A good discussion no less.
