Train crash happened just near my parents' house, where I'm currently staying. I was at the boyfriend's and was on my way back when all these emergency vehicles started going past and tons of roads were closed... I saw flashing red and blue lights a little bit down one of the roads that was closed but thought nothing of it.
Later on I found out that was a train that had crashed at a level crossing (hence the red flashing lights). That particular level crossing is about a mile or so down the track that runs behind this house.
I was on a train all of yesterday, and due to be on a train again perhaps tomorrow or Monday.
Think I might have to leave it a while, Reading station's completely closed until further notice.
Scary stuff.
It's stuff like this that makes you never want to get on a train ever again.
