Freight train travelled through red 'danger' signal before crash in Doncaster
Just spotted this on the ITV site......https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2022-07-22/train-travelled-through-danger-signal-before-crash
They're a bit late reporting this as it happened on the 5th. Quote:
I remember once when I first started driving on the South Eastern, I left London Bridge station on a single yellow on the Up. I didn't know the road terribly well so I crawled gingerly round a sharp bend and focused on pulling up at the red light when it appeared. When I looked up there was the rear of a Coastal Express about 2 carriage lengths in front. Those were short signal sections in London, and no TPWS in those days. Fortunately the line speed was only 20 mph, but if you slipped into microsleep or did something dumb like reaching into your bag at the wrong moment you'd collide. Quote:
