Of the 870 surveyed drivers and conductors give nearly 6 in 10 to have no confidence in the equipment or the technology they work with every day. Sprinter trains, rail and switches are listed as the main culprits. “Trains driving around for weeks with defects are unfortunately more the rule than the exception,” said a railway employee.
