	Rail industry news
		The rail industry is viewed as an important economic indicator for US industry generally, but the growth also reflects increasing congestion on the roads and a nationwide shortage of truck drivers.
		Rail safety inspectors from the Railway Inspectorate have ordered Metronet to improve track on the District Line, and speeds have been restricted on some parts of the system because the track was not stretched, or stressed, correctly after being laid, with the result that the track could buckle in hot weather and result in derailment.
		Rail prices are to rise by 35 euros/t from the beginning of 2006, reflecting the higher costs of raw materials, energy and transportation.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Broken rail triggered crash
		A broken rail was the "substantial" if not only cause of the Hatfield train crash, a preliminary Health and Safety Executive report has found.
		The fine was imposed in January by Rail Regulator Tom Winsor on a basis of £4m for each percentage point by which Railtrack failed to meet his target for train delays.
		A broken rail has also been implicated by a preliminary HSE investigation into the derailment of a passenger train at Stafford on Thursday, which caused minor injuries among the 80 passengers.

		All services between London's Euston station and Stafford were suspended on Friday night and will not resume until next Monday, in the longest shutdown since the line's electrification was completed in 1966.
		Rail bosses say the closure is necessary for work on the troubled decade-long, £8bn upgrade of the line, due to be ready in September for a new timetable incorporating tilting trains running at 125mph.
		But rail chiefs are concerned at the prospect of severe overcrowding on secondary routes which could struggle to handle extra traffic.

		A report for the Strategic Rail Authority by the consultants Atkins and Ernst and Young, which was completed 18 months ago but not initially made public, has warned that without such a project, the existing west coast mainline will reach breaking point by 2016.
		"The strategic rail network is likely to experience considerable congestion in the long-term unless action is taken," it says, adding that parallel congestion on the roads will lead to a slowdown in traffic.
		Adrian Lyons, director of the industry-wide Railway Forum, said there was a strong social case for the line to spread wealth more evenly between the south-east, the north of England and Scotland.
