This was inserted in the main article by Filipino IP 121.54.98.190 (talk) on 17:26, 10 August 2009 :

I was there. will you allow me to relate my personal experience?

And the answer has to be that unfortunately 121.54.98.190, such "personal experience" would contravene Wikipedia's rules on original research, submissions should be verifiable from reliable, third-party sources. Which is a good thing, you can imagine the chaos if everyone was allowed to contribute their "personal experiences" to the WWII article. But feel free to use your experience to help you find third-party resources.86.27.171.145 (talk) 19:27, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re Brett-Andrews, the article says '...he had been reprimanded twice before for driving trains.' In fact it was three times. Two verbal and a formal disciplinary final warning. See Paragraph 80 on page 17 of the HMRI Report. Source ^[1] 2A02:C7D:1D69:9000:8CCA:527A:E217:51C3 (talk) 04:01, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correction, the statement is that in all these cases he was disciplined for riding in the cab, not for actually driving the train. An IP recently added information claaiming that the AWS was disabled, which the inquiry didn't find. I've reverted these edits. Blythwood (talk) 19:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
