RSSB Podcast: Incidents

The state of the track that trains run on is vital to the safety of passengers and crew. It needs to be monitored and maintained regularly to keep it safe. But in the late 1990s that wasn’t always happening. And in October 2000, that led to a derailment that caused 4 deaths and injured over 70 more.

We can learn a lot from accidents. As we try to avoid history repeating itself, Greg Morse looks back at the Potters Bar accident of 20 years ago. What went wrong? What have we learned?

Learning from… - the Clapham Accident. Lessons from the past have helped us improve safety risk management. But that's no reason to be complacent. We all still need to remember and practice, to make our railway as safe as we can.

In this podcast Sara Sherrard and Tom Moran talks about failings in customer care and the improvements implemented after Sara's mother suffered a fatal accident at Mill Hill Station.
