No, it just means they've identified the immediate cause and have taken all the photographs and measurements from the site they need to before the vehicles are moved. Based on previous reports, if they need photos of the after-restoration state they'll most likely just ask Network Rail to take...

Guard rails were mentioned significantly in the Carmont RAIB report, paragraph 539 states: Recommendation 13 of that report states: It is likely too soon for Network Rail to have given a formal response to that recommendation, and definitely too soon for it to have resulted in any...

There were no physical injuries to people at all, and I've not heard of anything like shock (although it seems unlikely there was any in this case, I don't know I would have heard if there was). The middle of the train derailed, so it is unlikely there is any damage to the loco. Based on the...

RAIB have said they'll be investigating https://www.gov.uk/government/news/derailment-of-a-freight-train-at-petteril-bridge-junction-carlisle

There are some more photos in this public facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/mark.mcalindon/posts/pfbid07fJyuc3YyfdQzVeka5YN2qE4skQgjzB8HmYKC2Yh5GQj74Qk2P1sM2bKD92S8YmAl (I think a facebook login is required, but I'm not certain)

On Thursday I plan to take a train from London to Bletchley and then later the same day return to London from Fenny Stratford. I don't have any railcards (I've got one on order but it's very unlikely to arrive in time). Would a return to Fenny Stratford allow me to exit at Bletchley on the...

Have there been any trains named for or by bands or musicians? (The genesis for this question was a predictive text game prompt "I would like to apologise..." which my phone completed with "to all the other trains named by a manufactured boy band"!)

According to the BBC News article he was on his way to an exam, which is slightly different

Integrating it into the booking system would also make its existence known to more people than currently, which would be a good thing for encouraging travel.

Keep waiting. My one experience of delay repay with Northern was for a journey in April (2018 or 2019 I think). I got my cheque in November.

If they don't operate any advertised passenger services then they aren't in scope. If they do then I'd just travel on that service.

At some point (not this year) I intend to, within a 12 month period, travel on/behind at least one of every class of train that operates a regularly scheduled National Rail passenger service (i.e. not charters, specials, London Underground, etc). Would it be theoretically possible to achieve...

Yes. One thing that consistently gets brought up is that staff are too busy dealing with the incident to gather and disseminate information. One way to avoid this would be to employ somebody whose sole role in the incident is to disseminate information - colocate them with control so they get to...

Regarding the seating, the DLR is first and foremost a mass transit system whose purpose is moving large volumes of people from A to B, so it is right that the trains be designed for capacity. Views are nothing more than a nice-to-have, but there will be 1 or 2 rows of transverse seats at each...

If and offence has been committed here (and I understand from elsewhere that BTP are currently investigating) it seems that byelaw 11(3) would apply: 11. General safety No person shall: 3. without reasonable cause, activate any emergency system and/or any communications system provided on any...

That sounds like it's stacking up considerable expense should the line ever be needed in the future

Most (if not all) of which require more space than is available at this location. Yes the train could stop further down the platform, but that might require platform extensions and/or signalling changes. either of which would be time consuming and expensive. Given that significant changes are...

There are videos in the links I shared of the friction type buffers that slide, and one that's a hybrid of that type and a hydraulic type.

In post #286 of the Kirkby derailment thread @357 posted a video of a combined hydraulic/friction buffer stop test. There is a collection of videos of various different types of stops being tested at https://hydeparknow.uk/2020/06/24/buffer-crash-tests-1/ and...
