Sentencing after level crossing crash
Source: Chris Robertson
I am very pleased at the humane sentence given to Mr Maund, granted that sometimes (and I noticed it in the sentencing of a bus driver who was 'hung out to dry') those at the sharp end of transport operations can be severely punished despite being, as in this case, an exemplary employee.
I'm not sure the same can be said of Network Rail's position and its not wholly contrite response to this judgement. How many more critical system deficiencies remain unexposed by seemingly inadequate auditing procedures?
