At best text messaging causes young people to write stupidly. At its worst it causes accidents. Despite the controversy over what caused the Metrolink catastrophe texting seems altogether too plausible.

It also emerges that one reason for the single-trackage on that line is it goes through a tunnel. Why not drill a second tunnel?
