A second train derailment in 24 hours. It seems, not confirmed yet, that the exceptional heat is causing instability in the substrate under the rails. Will they have to shutdown the whole network, pending inspection of all track?

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: —Introibo ad altare Dei.
