The driver has said nothing to the press - he has however, been 'helping the
police with their enquiries' - on and off for the last couple of days.

When I saw the first news footage of the Land Rover and trailer come in on
Wednesday morning I thought 'No way'. Not only was the trailer still
connected to the Land Rover, the Renault was still on the trailer.
The only comforting thought is that the field that the passenger train ended
up in was several feet under water a few months ago.
