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. -

Railway Accident Investigation Unit Annual Report
Railway Accident Investigation Unit Ireland Annual Report i 2018 Foreword The purpose of the Railway Accident Investigation Unit (RAIU) is to independently investigate occurrences on Irish railways with a view to establishing their cause/s and make safety recommendations to prevent their reoccurrence or otherwise improve railway safety. It is not the purpose of an investigation to attribute blame or liability. In 2018, fifty-two preliminary examination reports (PERs) were completed by the RAIU based on reports of incidents and accidents from Transdev and Iarnród Éireann (IÉ); including reports of: rolling stock faults; Road Rail Vehicle (RRV) occurrences; self-harm occurrences; earthworks failures; energy faults; tram and heavy rail derailments in depots; cattle strikes; tram road traffic collisions; fire; buffer stop collisions and one user worked level crossing collision accident. Of the fifty-two PERs, three full investigations into individual incidents/accidents that occurred on the IÉ network, namely: • Collision of an InterCity Railcar with a buffer stop at Laois Train Care Depot, 17th July 2018; • Wrongside Door Failure at Ashtown Station, 12th August 2018; • Vehicle struck by train at Cartron level crossing, XM220, Co. Mayo, 17th August 2018. In addition, a trend investigation into RRV incidents and accidents on the IÉ network was commenced, which includes the review of RRV occurrences from 2015 to 2018, inclusive. One investigation report was published in 2018, ‘Derailment of DART passenger service, at Points DL115, Dun Laoghaire, 13th September 2017’ resulting in a total of seven new safety recommendations being issued. The new recommendations related to: the training and competency of staff in terms of performance of duties and safety critical communications; management of major customer disruptions; the design and fitment of points clips; and, the placement of detonator protection. -

Chapter 14 Yards and Terminals1
CHAPTER 14 YARDS AND TERMINALS1 FOREWORD This chapter deals with the engineering and economic problems of location, design, construction and operation of yards and terminals used in railway service. Such problems are substantially the same whether railway's ownership and use is to be individual or joint. The location and arrangement of the yard or terminal as a whole should permit the most convenient and economical access to it of the tributary lines of railway, and the location, design and capacity of the several facilities or components within said yard or terminal should be such as to handle the tributary traffic expeditiously and economically and to serve the public and customer conveniently. In the design of new yards and terminals, the retention of existing railway routes and facilities may seem desirable from the standpoint of initial expenditure or first cost, but may prove to be extravagant from the standpoint of operating costs and efficiency. A true economic balance should be achieved, keeping in mind possible future trends and changes in traffic criteria, as to volume, intensity, direction and character. Although this chapter contemplates the establishment of entirely new facilities, the recommendations therein will apply equally in the rearrangement, modernization, enlargement or consolidation of existing yards and terminals and related facilities. Part 1, Generalities through Part 4, Specialized Freight Terminals include specific and detailed recommendations relative to the handling of freight, regardless of the type of commodity or merchandise, at the originating, intermediate and destination points. Part 5, Locomotive Facilities and Part 6, Passenger Facilities relate to locomotive and passenger facilities, respectively.
