Bullet train driver leaves control !

Japanese bullet trains can travel at 360Km per hour.

Usually it travels at 280KmPh for safety reason. With

that speed too it is considered as ' a superfast train.'

The driver's alertness and responsibility is of utmost

priority.

It happened yesterday that the driver of  such a bullet

train got an urgent call of nature and was compelled to

leave the controls to an unqualified conductor.

    Fortunately his toilet trip went unnoticed except that 

the train was late for a minute-and ofcourse no major

accident took place. There were at least 160 passengers

in that train !

          However an enquiry was made for the one minute

late as the the Japanese are very serious about punctuality.
