Red light railman 'using mobile'

Another cell phone while driving story, reported by the BBC, but this time not in a car or a taxi, but in a train.

"It is claimed the driver of the Norwich to London train was talking on the phone at the time of the incident on 29 December last year, at Claydon, near Ipswich, Suffolk. The train ran for nearly a mile past the red light before stopping.

Anglia Railways has a policy against drivers using company or personal mobile phones whilst trains are in motion.

Managers are believed to be carrying out spot checks on drivers' mobiles to ensure they are complying with new policies about their use."
