Editorial on Ulleskelf collision. Note that after passing danger signals (four in this article) the driver of the NER passenger train applied full brakes (either seeing the red lights on the rear of the mineral train, or seeing the guard's red handlamp). The brake application was too late. The guard of the passenger train reported that he didn't see the passed signals either, but station staff on route said the fog was not so bad as to require a fogman. The signalmen on the route did not place fog detonators - perhaps giving the driver a false sense of security. Ironically, the NER was the only company to use an automatic warning system - but not on this line as it is LYR, NER, Normanton, shared with LYR and others.
