I haven't read it all in detail, and although it looks disgusting at first glance, I'd ask if the person has been suspended on full pay. Consider their procedure. If there procedures say that any person going on the track must be suspended pending investigation, then that's what they must do. If they break their own procedures, then it will bite them in the bum the next time they need to do something. Let me give you an example. My friend works for a police department that involves him using and carrying a gun. When he is called to a "situation" he and his team no that anytime they fire the gun at someone, then they are suspended while an investigation checks everything involved with the shooting was carried out correctly. This is standard procedure and put in place to protect the public, the staff and the company (police in his example). The train company may just be following correct, standard procedure and have to do this or they leave themselves wide open to claims.

Yes, on face value it looks bad, but it might not be. The key is the findings of the investigation and I hope they use common sense.

I doubt the investigation will take very long.

Well, I've started my first campaign in Rome: Total War. Managed to establish a couple of minor cities and am in good fettle. Fought several battles and I must say that the bit of training I got from the demo certainly helped. I've whipped a few armies backsides and the Senate are rather impressed. All this actually seems to mean that a confrontation with Rome might be sooner rather than later.

On the latter day PC front: a 4 core AMD Phenom 850 has no problems with the graphics which are all on the highest settings, and this is with an motherboard based chipset rather than a specific graphics card. Didn't actually expect this level of detail. Slowing down my controls is probably the next thing I do before I get back to the game, because the mouse movements are a bit quick. All in all, it's definitely fun at the moment. Well worth the tiny outlay. Like the fact that when I opened the new DVD pack there was a bonus offer to allow me to buy additional bits and bobs for a lot more than I paid for the game itself. I think I could probably get the expansion packs for about a third of the special offer price these days. Oh, and I must click on the special offer webpage to see if it still exists, something like 8 years later. ;)
