the crash happened around the market lavington area.
the driver had a few cuts and bruises and a fractured forearm/wrist but is now off sunning himself on holiday.
the train also had BAD flats on all wheelset after the crash so was dragged to westbury at 5mph to get it off the line and i think it then got taken to SPM.
they have a new cab for it apparently so should be back in service once the glue sets :shock: :shock: :shock:
