Passengers on the West Coast railway line have been hit by severe delays after containers from two freight trains fell onto tracks in high winds (link below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7272373.stmFreightliner said the containers would have been locked onto the wagons and that this is the first time this has happened since the company was formed. |

guess what , the containers are not locked down at all they depend on gravity to hold them on spiggots, high winds blew then of at shap summit , what the media failed to notice is that a class one nearly collided with the containers had there been a few minutes difference,
