The Rail Incident Investigation Unit is part of the RSC and are on call 24 hours day
They should have got a call within an hour of the incident taking place, obviously it depends where the duty inspector is relative to the site before they get there. You cant do much in the pitch black dark. Everything must be recorded
IE staff re-railed the train without recourse to a crane
The photos from about 11am on Fri show the northbound track clear and undamaged
Its much easier operate north rather than south, so if you think things where bad Friday evening if they had tried that on Friday morning it would have been worse and you could walk faster
