I still feel the technical engineer was at fault. Even if a fault were to occur, he should know from common sense to inspect the track and not just think it an error on the PLC's part. It was that negligence that caused the accident, and not what any reasonable person with a basic understanding of rollercoasters, in my opinion, would do.

Should have gone round and checked the section. Why didn't the public report the valley train? They saw a train stalled on the lift and they saw the train stuck that didn't make the loop

[@ballbag]

They should have thought that a stalled train was an option at any point and checked - It stalled trains there numerous times before the accident

Wow, what a greatly informative series. Fantastic job

[@jordanbyford2693]

Merlin definitely did some covering up in this accident which means a similar accident could happen again at any point

[@chilli943]

PLC should never have allowed a manual override of a block stop. If the PLC ever thinks the block is occupied, then all trains beforehand should be held. Especially if loaded. It shouldn't be possible to manually override it

[@musicjoe1224]

They have to be able to manually reset the blocks for maintainence and for ghost trains etc.

DONT TALK ABOUT THAT
