Interesting:

Quote:
190 The accident at Waterloo and the Cardiff East Junction incident resulted from
people taking actions which were inconsistent with the processes in which they
had been assessed as competent. Had these processes been followed, the
events would have been prevented. The RAIB found no evidence that the staff
and organisations involved at Waterloo and Cardiff lacked a commitment to
safety. In this respect, the RAIB’s findings at Waterloo and Cardiff have much in
common with this extract from the Hidden report [i.e. the Clapham Junction accident] chapter 17 ‘Where things went
wrong – The Lessons to be learned’: [...]

Agree it was an interesting comment - rarely does RAIB conjecture like this... how can you base this conclusion in fact?

But fair play to them - with the recent signalling events in their investigation list maybe they feel there’s a point to be made... another signalling case might trigger one of their class investigations.

I don't think it's conjecture. There were distinct similarities, at least behaviourally, between both these cases and Clapham, and both resulted in the safety systems becoming ineffective. Yet all 3 were carried out by people and organisations who were absolutely committed to safety. RAIB's point is that the corporate memory is disappearing as the Clapham generation reaches retiring age, and something needs to be done about that. (They're not alone in that conclusion; Roger Ford effectively said the same in his analysis of RAIB's interim report.)

RAIB report for Dalwhinnie now published.
Excerpts selected by posts on Scot-Rail group

--------------------------------

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/report-102022-wrong-side-signalling-failure-and-derailment-at-dalwhinnie-badenoch-and-strathspey

"The train was wrongly diverted because, even though the signaller had recently called the double-ended set of points to be in a position for the route along the main line, the points at the facing end of the crossover had remained set towards the crossover, while the points at the trailing end had moved to the correct position.
The signaller was able to clear the protecting signal, which allowed the train to approach the crossover in this condition, because of a wiring error in the signalling system that was introduced when the point machine at the trailing end was replaced some nine months earlier.
The front of the train was directed over the crossover and then trailed through and forced apart the points at the trailing end. The signalling system only then detected that the points were not correctly set and automatically re-sent a command for both point ends to move to the position that the signaller had earlier commanded. This caused the points at the facing end to move under the train, which derailed the rear of train as it passed over them."


"194 On 14 April 2021, Network Rail issued a special inspection notice with the
purpose of establishing if similar point machine configurations in the Scotland
region were affected (ScoR/SIN/001). Forty-nine sites were identified where
multi-ended points shared a common detection circuit. All had HW type point
machines installed. No issues of concern were found at any of these locations
and the inspection confirmed that 13 points at Dalwhinnie had been the only
multi-ended points on the Scotland region where GRS 5E type point machines
were installed.

195 Network Rail issued another special inspection notice on 19 April 2021 with the
purpose of establishing if similar point machine configurations were affected on
the wider network (NR/SIN/201). Inspection work identified internal detection
wiring discrepancies at two locations; both involved HW type point machines:
• Orpington, on Network Rail’s Kent route: the wiring was made correct to the
wiring diagram.
• Shildon, on Network Rail’s North & East route: the points were clamped out of
use with switch rails in the normal position."
