The counter propaganda machine has rolled out, its the cows fault

Remember the cow that met its end last year when it got demolished by a CDE control car, well thats the cover story for the delay, that of course that is only 1 of 67 coaches. Two other train sets where available for testing, staff training and millage accumulation at the time

The train did not derail which in turn proved the train safe in high speed collision. If this had been a 1970's design control car it would have ended up derailed in small pieces. Polmont Scotland marked a major design change which possibly saved the lives of the staff on the CDE train
