female cleaner drove it through the buffers at the depot.

It's pretty hard to drive a Trainz in Cab mode ... and even more difficult on the real thing, especially if it is going too fast, and you get flustered and make mistakes, adding more throttle, instead of brake.

It was just a cleaner.
Maybe the train was left on, forgotten to switch off.
Woman cleans the train and pushed by accident the forward button/handle.
She did not know how to stop the bloody thing.

Nobody knows for sure she has "stolen" the train.

Seeing as she would have had to accidentally release the parking brake, move the reverser and move the throttle it seems a safe bet. Unless it was stabled on a steep gradient and rolled away up to 80 km/h that is. However strange things do happen. A colleague of mine was decapitated by his own train one night and to this day no-one knows how.

Isn't there also a dead man's type of throttle on those trains that has to be held down?
