"Train passed red signal before fatal crash - report"
This is the initial report into the Bedford train crash.
While it states that the train definitely did go through a red signal, it doesn't say why.
Don't jump straight on blaming the driver - there's a lot of technological factors that may be involved (AWS in particular)https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly90nqpryko?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss

Yesterday there was a horrible train crash near Bedford.
The driver of one of the trains died, many passengers were injured.
The cause is not known.Without minimising this for the victims, let's not forget that this was only the fourth death in a rail collision between two trains on Britain's railways •this century•. There's been 9 deaths on the railway from all causes in the last 10 years (See link below)
But remember that on average 5 people died on Britain's roads •every day• this year and will continue to do so.
British railways are a supremely safe way to travel.
We continue to normalise road deaths but focus on the rare occasions when rail (and air) crashes happen.
Keep perspective.>> Edit to correct my erroneous number of rail deaths this century. There's a list of all British rail crashes at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_accidents_in_the_United_Kingdom

CW: train crash, UK
Only just saw this!
Nottingham to London train involved. I go on those sometimes! Bit close to home both metaphorically and literally!
Thinking of everyone affected.
I wonder how it happened.
