Security for common man?Anti-collission devices need added to all railways

Security for common man?Anti-collission devices need added to all railways

I am pained by Vannchal collision on 19th July early hours resulting in many deaths.
The deceased driver must be sleeping otherwise that train which had to stop at Sainthia would not be in 80-90 km/h or if its break failed why not he informed guard and advanced station? r his communication system also failed?
Whether Mamta Banerjee should resign is just politicising the issue as any railway minister will not be driving trains. Though she is hardly interested in railways copared to state politics is obvious but that was not the cause of tragedies.

The question is how the drivers are selected- there should be no reservation in such jobs
And how many hours they are to run(not more than 4 hours in night shifts).
Also number of coaches in general class need increased (at least 6 in each train)and why placed on front and rear only- the common man be given most security and such coached need placed centrally.
Further no need of superfast train- Indian trains be run on an average 50km/h only but no untowards delay.
Anti-collission devices need added to all railways.
