I don't see how the driver of the troop train can be held responsible. It had clear signals and was travelling fast because it was on a falling gradient. The signalman who had just come on duty admitted accepting the troop train and clearing the signals. One very important point that was never established was which of the two signalmen gave the "train out of section" signal to the previous box after looping the up goods train. Had this been established it would probably have redistributed the blame but still only between the two signalmen.
