摘要

On October 17th, a train from King's Cross to Leeds crashed at Hatfield in Hertfordshire. Four people were killed and 34 injured. Next morning, Railtrack, the company that runs Britain's railways, attributed the crash to a broken rail. There was an outcry in the newspapers: Railtrack was paying more attention to its shareholders' dividends than to lives, the government had failed to ensure that Railtrack invested in its passengers' safety, and a crash like that must never be allowed to happen again. The government left no doubt that it agreed with the newspapers; and, in the five weeks since the crash, Railtrack has done its utmost to prove its concern for its customers' safety. Rails have been ripped up all over the country, the network has descended into chaos, and the length of many journeys has doubled as the company tries to sort the problem out (see page 35). Yet surely it is worth all the trouble, if even one life is saved?
