Terror on the Tracks

A train driver suffers facial injuries when a brick is hurled at his cab, shattering the window. One train company is using technology to detect trackside dangers.

A train driver suffers facial injuries after a brick is hurled at his cab, shattering the window. The train’s travelling at 70mph but can the driver bring it safely to a standstill, despite his injuries?

A rise in the number of incidents like this has prompted one train company to start installing on-board technology aimed at making journeys safer for passengers and staff. The new features being unveiled include laser-imaging technology to scan the track and embankments – the same technology Nasa used to map the surface of the moon!
