RED 61 - Detraining
Why do passengers sometimes detrain or self-evacuate? It’s often due to trains breaking down, destroying our passengers’ own timetables and promises to employers, families and loved ones.
RED 61 gives you the story, provides pointers on how to reduce the risks, and suggests ways to help keep everyone in the picture when an incident occurs.

RED 45 - Trap and Drag at the Platform / Train Interface
This RED 45 programme looks at distraction and the risks at the platform train interface. A driver on his last shift before retirement is distracted, and misjudges a station stop. He can’t see the bank of monitors clearly but as the traction interlock light is on, he assumes it’s safe to move.

RED 43 - Emergency

RED 37 - Revisiting the Platform-Train Interface
This RED 37 programme looks at passenger behaviour and the platform train interface. A group of girls see their friend onto a late train after a night out. They are under the influence of alcohol, impairing their judgement and making them vulnerable – and leading to tragic consequences.

RED 33 - One of Those Days
This RED 33 programme looks at how one problem can affect the wider network. A train comes to a halt across a junction, with the driver unable to release the brakes. The passengers on other trains delayed by this incident become irritated, and eventually some detrain and walk to the nearest station.

RED 28 - Risk at the Platform Train Interface
This RED looks at passenger behaviour at the platform train interface. A dispatcher supervising the departure of a passenger service has many demands on his attention. Consequently, he fails to see that a young woman, saying goodbye to her boyfriend near the front of the train, is standing much too close to the doors.

RED 20 - No Silver Bullets
This RED looks at SPADs, and the mechanisms in place to prevent them. A driver slows his train, but still passes a signal at danger. The Train Protection Warning System brings the train to a halt. It comes to a stand 8 feet short of the conflict point.
