Railways got two warnings in 6 months on faulty signalling, poor track repair

A CAG report in December flagged 24 reasons for derailments. In February, an official warned about ‘serious flaws’ in signalling after a collision was avoided.

I have a coworker who worked at for 20+ years who said when it comes to budget, rather than using the “cut” wheels for trains they prefer new ones. He said sometimes the new ones were more detrimental to rails because they hadn’t been cut to fit the tracks unlike some that had. He’s not saying this is what’s causing the but breaking in new wheels for every rail car after just ONE use is absurd. But that’s how they get their outrageous budget
