A train driver has been suspended after being photographed apparently reading a newspaper while driving a train. The First Great Western (FGW) driver was caught on camera as the high-speed passenger train emerged from a tunnel in Devon on 4 July. FGW said the photograph looked 'frankly astonishing' but the circumstances would be investigated.
