I'd presume the cost of repair will ultimately be borne by Tesco's fleet insurer.
The lorry branded for Tesco, will be owned and operated by a logistics company and insured through them. The only cost to Tesco will be reputations damaged by the lorry branding. Keystone were the Tesco contractor 10 years or so ago not sure if they still are In their apology quoted in Devon Live and Cornwall Live Tesco have mentioned their "logistics partner". |

Whoever it was need not bother asking about protecting the no claims bonus. The bill will run into a pretty penny once everyone affected has put in a claim. I'm surprised I haven't started to receive text messages from shyster lawyers asking if I was affected by it. Every little helps. |

From Plymouth LiveNetwork Rail has apologised to residents in the Mannamead area after one angry local resident was kept awake by workers who were chopping down trees in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Workers were filmed using chainsaws and chopping down trees at the Ashford Hill Bridge which was the centre of chaos last Monday when a lorry became stuck underneath the bridge, halting trains across the region.
[snip]
The company explained that staff were working tooth and nail into the early hours of Sunday to make sure the maintenance work could be finished on time, when it was promised to be.
The company admits some of the work was carried out through the night, but added that this was to make sure the bridge could be reopened as quickly and as safely as possible. |

Despite the inconvenience to local residents, night time noisy works are in my view justified in cases of urgency. The complaints should be directed at the truck operator and not at those doing the repairs.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

That one has to be the last word. A railway carriage hitting a railway bridge from below - I don't recall seeing that one before!  |

Where?
The coach looks like a write off. Just shows how musch crashworthiness has improved it would be interesting to see how a Mark 3 would have come out of it. Must have been doing a considerable speed.
