  • RAIB Report: Freight Train Derailment at Angerstein Junction on 3 June 2015
    Oliver Stewart Senior Executive, RAIB Relationship and Recommendation Handling Telephone 020 7282 3864 E-mail [email protected] 4 June 2020 Mr Andrew Hall Deputy Chief Inspector of Rail Accidents Cullen House Berkshire Copse Rd Aldershot Hampshire GU11 2HP Dear Andrew, RAIB Report: Freight train derailment at Angerstein Junction on 3 June 2015 I write to provide an update1 on the action taken in respect of recommendation 3 addressed to ORR in the above report, published on 1 June 2016. The annex to this letter provides details of the action taken regarding the recommendation. The status of recommendation 3 is ‘Implemented’. We do not propose to take any further action in respect of the recommendation, unless we become aware that any of the information provided has become inaccurate, in which case I will write to you again. We will publish this response on the ORR website on 5 June 2020. Yours sincerely, Oliver Stewart 1 In accordance with Regulation 12(2)(b) of the Railways (Accident Investigation and Reporting) Regulations 2005 Annex A Recommendation 3 The intent of this recommendation is to ensure that the derailment risk at Angerstein Junction is adequately controlled. Network Rail should review and, if appropriate, alter the infrastructure configuration on the line between Angerstein Junction and Angerstein Wharf sidings to reduce its contribution to the derailment risk in the immediate vicinity of the 851A trap points. This review should include, but not be limited to, consideration of: • the wagon types and loads normally using the line; • the layout of the check rail; • the speed and braking profiles of trains using the line; • the locations and operation of signalling equipment; and • the location of the trap points, or the provision of alternative risk mitigation measures ORR decision 1.

  • Collision. Wrawby Junction. 1983-12-09
    RAILWAY~NSPECTORATE DEPARTMENTOFTRANSPORT 2 MARSHAMSTREET LONDON SWIP 3EB 19th March 1985. I have the honour to report, for the information of the Secretary of State, in accordance with the Direc- tion of 21st December 1983 the result of my Inquiry into the collision between a freight train and apassenger train that occurred at about 18.18 on 9th December 1983 at Wrawby Junction, near Scunthorpe, in the Eastern Region of British Railways. 2. The 17.32 Cleethorpes to Sheffield 2-car Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) passenger train was travelling along the Down Fast lineat about 5 mile/h when it was struck about midway along the right-hand side of the leading carriage by Locomotive No. 47299 which was hauling the 15.02 Drax to Lindsey freight train compris- ing 9 empty oil tank wagons. Because a track-circuit failure prevented a set of points from operating and the protecting signals from clearing, the signalman had hand-cranked the points to the Normal position. He failed to clamp them Normal as he should have done. Both trains had been called forward under caution but the freight train driver failed to stop at the signal box. His train was diverted at low speed into the side of the passenger train through the points that had, in the meantime, reset themselves to the Reverse position. 3 The leading vehicle of the DMU was derailed and turned onto its side, the trailing vehicle was derailed but remainedupright. There were 1 I passengerson the DMU and1 regret to report that on'eof them was killed instantly, the Emergency Services were quickly at the scene and 3 others were taken to hospital 2 of whom were discharged after treatment.

  • Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales
    Issue 64 Spring 2018 Rail Wales Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales A sign of the changing times: a HST 125 enters Cardiff Central in January 2018 shortly after the first electrification masts had been installed. By the end of 2018 the new bi mode trains supplied by Hitachi should have replaced the 40-year-old HSTs on the Swansea-London route. Photo: Julian Langston Rail Wales issue 64 Spring 2018 www.railfuturewales.org.uk Page 1 WELCOME Rail Wales is published every six months and looking back at events since the last issue, it sometimes seems that the fast pace of significant news would require a weekly issue to keep Railfuture members up to date with the ever-evolving rail scene. Needless to say, the ongoing saga of the letting of the Wales and Borders franchise provides the main focus of attention. Shortly before the last issue of Rail Wales appeared, Arriva announced that it was withdrawing from the bidding process. This reduced the bidders to three. However, the withdrawal of a second bidder in February 2018 was not as a result of that company (Abellio) deciding to walk away but as a result of the financial collapse of its civil engineering partner, Carillion. The two bidders still standing are Keolis and MTR. With only two companies now competing, this weakens the hand of Transport for Wales (the organisation set up by the Welsh Government to undertake the selection of the new operator) to obtain the best outcome. It is hoped that the ongoing discussions, which are nearing conclusion, will result in a franchise award which provides existing and potential new rail users in Wales and adjacent areas of England with a markedly improved service in terms of service frequency, reliability, comfort and value for money.
