Yes, pic isn't good I know, didn't go closer. I'll post another but from news, can be clearly seen. Luckily speed at station area is limited to 30km/h otherwise there would be worse. 34 people taken to hospital, two badly injured

..it hapens .... Don't know what's the reason, heard something about driver driving trough red signal but I don't buy it. Can't be possible due to all safety precotions.....or can? Time will tell

Depends if it has ATP (Automatic Train Protection???)

That applies the brakes if it went through a red.

Looks like it was low-ish speed. Could have been a lot worse.

Atp is called apb here, it does apply brakes but driver can "by-pass" it, that's what most passengers don't know, luckily :o 8-) Afaik both drivers got signal on green which is almost impossible
