2003 Melbourne runaway train

 * ... that the 2003 Melbourne runaway train avoided a disastrous collision by less than a second? Source: four parapgraphs, from "However, another stopping-all-stations train, number 5262, was ahead of the runaway and unaware of the danger" to "Later calculations showed that disaster had been averted by less than a second." (Calculation from ATSB report and cited in text)

 * Symbol question.svg have you done QPQ or have you nominated less than 5 DYKs before so you are not required? Lenght and creation date are OK. Hook is cited and interesting. I would improve the structure of the article a bit, as the "Accident" section is very long. If it could be split somehow. Otherwise if QPQ is not required, it's good to go in my view. --Pudeo (talk) 22:26, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This is number 5. I'll split the Accident section now, thanks for the feedback there. Triptothecottage (talk) 22:47, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go in my view then. The subsections help readability. --Pudeo (talk) 07:59, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
