  1. CW: train crash analysis

    Today's report from the "Rail Accident Investigation Branch" (RAIB), explaining what's known so far about the crash last week.

    gov.uk/government/news/collisi

    If I understand correctly, they're the ones whose job it is to investigate rail crashes for what can be learnt - so, not to place blame, but just to find out all the contributing factors, and what would need to be in place to stop the same kind of crash happening again.

  6. "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)

  11. CW: train crash, UK (CN allusion to injuries)

    A concerning detail about the train crash yesterday:

    "Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, Byatt says that, as people flew into one another during the crash, "the seats that they were on broke backwards into the people behind them"."

    The seats _broke_! _That_ shouldn't be happening. All the seats should be strong enough to survive an impact and protect people from smashing into each other.

    (says me - I don't know what's the official specification, I'm just using my common sense)

    It's also been confirmed now that it was the driver of the Corby train who was killed, which seems to imply it was the Nottingham train stopped on the track and the Corby one which went into the back of it.

  16. 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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_

    But, I got to come home, unlike the poor driver involved in the crash.
