Just to add to my earlier post regarding pieces of paper, the staff at Foxfield are very professional in their approach to operations, on a railway with the gradients it has you cannot be anything but. A piece of paper to say you are competent will not prevent an accident such as this happening in the future on any railway, preserved or national network!
And to respond to the OP's last few comments, the railway has a rule book which was in place at the time of the accident, that some staff had not signed for theirs was an administrative error. Also a competency review was underway at the time for all operating staff and I had done mine a few weeks prior to the incident. All the items highlighted in the report are being, or have been dealt with and the railway will be operating as usual with everyone involved fully assessed and all paperwork up to date.
