why do the Tory's not admit that they could have saved all the lives at Ladbroke Grove train crash?

well david cameron is like all tories he will not admit that his party killed these people any way only the poor go by train real tories have a little man to drive then every where

Why should the government be running trains in the first place? If the railroad were private, the private corporation would have made the proper improvements much faster.

Over here in the US, the government can't even provide security. Prior to both 9/11 and that incident last Christmas, the government had the information needed to stop the attack, but didn't use it due to bureaucracy.

Since monopolies are inefficient, it should not surprise anybody that the monopolist of monopolists (and creator of all the other monopolies) known as "government" should be the most inefficient monopoly of all.

The Automatic Train Protection (ATP) was the stupidest idea ever thought of. (It was a system that if you passed a signal at red, the train would stop eventually).

It was massively expensive, costing about a billion, which could be much better spent in other ways.

What is the matter with these train drivers? They don't have to work out the route, just look out for signals and do what they say. What is so difficult about stopping at a red signal. I manage to do it dozens of times a day.

We had the exact same train wreck in the USA a few years back, when a railroad engineer was texting some teenagers and he missed a red light warning him to stop. His train collided head on with another train going the opposite direction on the same tracks.

And yes, in the USA there had been a proposal for more modern signalling systems, but they were not installed because of the cost.

Then after that the exact same thing happened in a Boston subway station, when a subway engineer crashed into another train because he was busy texting.

This is why people think Americans are stupid.

Some of us are.

the labour government those people who are trying to stay in power are responsible for those deaths they are the same people who caused countless deaths through there cost cutting who don't apologize instead lie and try to cover it up

the Tories running for election today are not the same people "who kill people on trains by cost cutting" there for how is this a relevant question to the current political climate

trying to hold today's Tories for a mistake like that is like trying to blaim the people of Britain today for the crusades it is an outdated view

It was up to the Railway Services to provide better safety protection on our trains. They take our money when we buy tickets, so they have a duty to provide a safe service. It was not up to the Tory Party
