Serious accidents of this kind have occurred more than once in the UK as a result of de-nationalising British Railways and splitting it up into different companies, with one owning the rail tracks (National Rail) and other, private companies tasked with maintaining the track. It always seems to lead to a breakdown in communication, cutting corners on maintenance standards and eventually, injuries or deaths. ONE company or nationalised organisation should own and manage EVERYTHING, with a single computerised communications network for all employees and activities.
