I've just seen some pictures sent to me showing LO 710112 has collided with the buffer stops and has derailed, at least one bogie on front carriage and all of the second carriage.

Platform 1/2 are obviously blocked.

I won't share pictures as unsure where they have come from.

Given all terminal platforms here have TPWS Overspeed Sensors part way down platform set at 8mph i believe going to be interesting to see what RAIB find here. I recollect a 710 was also involved in a buffer stop collision at Enfield Town a few tears back.

Something similar to the London Bridge buffer collision quite possibly, where the cause was found to be micro-sleeping. Hope everyone is alright - given that I haven't seen much news about it, I guess the impact hasn't been too severe

Overground having their 2nd 701 buffer incident in the space of 5 years. Interesting as once again the trains can be assumed to have slowed down below the 10mph tpws trigger but not before the buffers for X reasons. Hoping like the previous it isnt nefarious. Images showed two carriages being the front two had derailed.

Could someone private message the pictures please? :)

Platform 3 is blocked as well with a unit stabled to prevent passengers from seeing.

Here is a video from the cab of the afformentioned 710 during the incident that i have been sent.

Removed as apparently this is internal information I should not have been sent

The fact that this kind of stuff is being leaked immediately shows there are people in positions of responsibility who really should be expecting appointments with the Jobcentre.
I was quite surprised to see the ffcctv leaked out so soon.
Looks like the train has its hazard warning lights flashing so perhaps it’s not what most people are expecting.

Setting aside the ethics of leaking footage/gen/pics of sensitive incidents at the source - posting it online after you have received it is a strict no-no. If you are well connected you may find that information like this gravitates towards you, but that also comes with moral responsibility.

Is the 8mph specifically at Liverpool Street buffers? Any reason for it, downhill gradient?

Why do people think that video should be restricted?
Because really it shouldn't have been posted in the first place as it's internal footage. Especially so quickly after said incident has happened.

That's not really an explanation of why it shouldn't. What interest is served by restricting it?

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

It can be easily traced back to the individual who leaked it. It's FFCCTV, it won't be hard to trace.
But it's only "leaked" rather than just "shared" because if it's restricted. What is the benefit of it being restricted?

It's leaking things like this that mean access to CCIL gets restricted for incidents and can mean people who need to see the details have to wait for approval or have the information seperately cascaded which can cost valuable time.

What's even the purpose? To feel momentarily important on the internet?

Unfortunately there will always be people who leak media like this, and think they are doing no wrong. Disappointing but that's just the truth..

Seems like it was posted on the NR logs which are accessible for thousands of people in the industry. This often happens, but is rarely leaked. They won't find out who it was who's shared it from downloading those NR logs unfortunately. But as another poster said, this will just lead to the information on those logs getting restricted and locked down further, as simply, people are idiots who can't be trusted.

It's restricted to protect identities of people involved, to prevent it being misused or published without appropriate permissions (what's to stop a media outlet using it now?), this could be critical evidence in a crime scene which should not be made public, it also prevents people on the internet spreading misinformation and jumping to conclusions about what happens.

There are a multitude of reasons something like this should not get out into public domain, but primarily, it reflects terribily on the railway if secure footage like that is out in the wild in less than 12 hours?
