There is one aspect of the 'incident' relating to the TVAC landing that has not been discussed.
I did not click onto it straight off but A N other raised it...
We know that the concrete culvert cover cracked a dropped the wheel partly into a 6 foot [2 meteres for the decimal chaps] void. And the after math was a 3 hour halt in the rail service because all four MR blades covered all four tracks [it would have been alright with an early two blade Bell type].
But who pays?
Each of the rail passengers stands to be compensated for up to 3 hours of delay. Is that cost finally down to Railtrack [the track operator], the train operator [Virgin, GW Trains etc] or the air ambulance?
As the air ambulance was invited onto the tracks [and they have done it before without incident] and was 'working' to remove the injured party from Railtrack property it may be down to the Railtrack insurance.
If not ....
I will ask about, but please chew on it if you care to.
