Wikipedia is absolute garbage. Edit lies to the truth and it gets taken down. Two instances of my editing they refuse to believe ... 1) Class 58 accidents: "Train ran away and derailed at Baddesley Ensor". No it didn't. Locomotive was light and ran away from Baddesley when driver alighted to use the trackside telephone. The straight air brake leaked off, the SSF failed to operate and 58013 gathered speed down the steep incline to derail at Kingsbury next to the Birmingham-Derby main line. I've submitted that THREE TIMES ... first it was removed due to being too detailed an account, so I pared it down a bit. Second time it was removed because I didn't cite a source (despite it was me that prepared the loco before the incident). Third time it was removed for not giving enough information. If they want to print shit then let them get on with it. Just don't come begging to me when they want monetary donations. 2) Another page that I contributed to was regarding the film "The Last Bus" starring Timothy Spall. He uses his free bus pass to travel from John O'Groats in Scotland to Lands End in England. Well that is actually impossible to do. A Scottish bus pass is only valid in Scotland and an English bus pass is only valid in England. My edit was removed even though I cited a source. Apparently the Government website is not a valid source. It should be renamed Wankerpedia.
