80 MPH Killer Train


A man and a woman died when they were struck by an 80mph train on a railway line in west Essex.

The incident happened in the early hours at Harlow Mill on the Cambridge to London Liverpool Street line.

The driver of the 0618 BST train from Cambridge told police he sounded his horn and applied the emergency brakes but was unable to avoid striking them.


How two people get stuck on the tracks of an 80 mph train, I do not know. It is unfortunate that this befell these two people. However, it seems to me that the two people must not have been in a completely sober state at the time of the incident.

Grade this post.
