[QUOTE]Originally posted by irishchieftain: [QB] I wouldn't regard the (left-leaning) NY Times as too reliable of a news outlet nowadays. They've been anti-rail for a while now (which is yet another thing that kills the notion of left-wing politics and pro-rail advocacy going hand in hand). Not to mention, right-leaning [URL=http://onthescene.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/24/the-investigationtexting-might-not-be-the-cause/]Fox News[/URL] indicates that texting may [i]not[/i] have been the cause of the crash. This incident is another black mark against Connex (nowadays Veolia Transportation), if anything. (And Connex is still operating the Luas in Dublin, Ireland too.) The [URL=http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-veolia20-2008sep20,0,7821951.story]LA Times[/URL] reports on Veolia's efforts to lobby for delays in meal breaks, which would be troublesome for a railroad where the hoggers work 53-hour weeks and same-day split shifts resulting in 10½-hour days.
