The collision was not because 2 trains were in the same block as this would of been permissive working which allows more than one train in each block and i have never seen a signal that displays a yellow with 2 white lights, it's usually red with white lights.

[@MrGrunter0]

For anyone struggling to understand the poor description; 2 trains heading back to depot. HST infront of an Azuma. Running on permissive signalling which is 2 white lights, meaning track can be occupied by more than 1 train at a time. Must proceed at caution & be prepared to stop. 1 train is now following directly behind the other. Azuma train runs into the back of the HST as he was distracted by a fault on his train. (Side note; signal L772 at 1:18 would not show a single yellow main aspect AND the associated position lights together.....it will show either one or the other at any one time)

[@iankemp1131]

Yes, wondered how 2 trains could have been signalled into the same block - if it was permissive signalling, that explains it.

Didn’t know you could get a yellow and two whites lights? Totally new to me being a signaller.

Position light on red, not yellow. Red because it’s occupied, position light proceed past red expecting obstruction ahead.

[@TheMisterB2u]

Yes correct,red remains on and only call ahead (two white lights) illuminates while red is constant

[@aaronwilkinson8963]

I did some work at Nevilhill train depot in Leeds and I saw the older 125 and it just had some damage at the front.

[@button85]

You wouldn't get one yellow when the position lights pull off. The main aspect on the signal would remain at red with the position lights illuminated.

LNER were withdrawing all their HSTs before the end of 2019, but yes, it is a shame that this one's life ended this way. I managed to get a picture of it in New Southgate, just three months before the Neville Hill incident.

Having no knowledge about how train systems work, I was unable to understand the meaning of what you were saying. But it was clearly explained by the 2 trains reading the same signals and had a bump, am I right.?

[@SionsTrainVideos]

Nice tone with 150281 on the back i saw them too there uploaded

[@jacekatalakis8316]

I do wonder if there's a point that, like planes, trains will get to the poinw where they require two in the cab to manage all the complex systems, it seems to me that a second pair of eyes, a first officer if you will, would have prevented this by being a second set of eyes and keeping a watch out the window while the driver was distracted. Makes me wonder at what point that will become a serious issue3

[@Jakeso]

I think that is a fair suggestion. My view on it is that he should have gone to turn APCO off after he came to a full stop instead of taking his attention away, but that’s just my view on it.

[@jacekatalakis8316]

To me, it sounds like the driver was distracted by how complex the system was to operate and that isn't solely on training or a bulletin at the depot though. I've seen some TWS4 footage of the 800/801 and even in that scaled down one, I've seen real train drivers playing it get overwhelemed by the system, and that's not the full TMS that is modeled there, so to me I feel like it's partly on the driver for being distracted during a critical phase of operation, partly on the people who designed, tested and signed off on the TMS Quoting the RAIB report: The RAIB found that the driver had been unable to set up the train management system because “ambiguous documentation” from manufacturer Hitachi led to LNER “misunderstanding the required process” when it developed its driving training programme. It also said that the train firm failed to recognise he needed more training than his peers. To me that screams of poor design for the software and documentation, as well as Hitachi not being rigorous enough with the testing, LNER failing to spot things and the driver not being able to catch his mistake quickly enough though. It goes back to my point of okay, but, how much more complex are trains going to get. How can train makers and operators account for that and mitigate that then?

[@alanlmsca]

@@jacekatalakis8316I think the other aspect to this, which the train designers really need to look at is why do they add complexity to what is in front of the driver and what they need to do? Human factors is a cruicial part of design and additional features should not be added because they can, but be challenged to see if they should. The driver needs to focus on the road ahead and controlling the speed ahead. Additional functionality, controls and features can overload the driver and distract their concentration. Keep things simple is the key, something older rolling stock does. There are lessons to be learned here for sure.

[@jacekatalakis8316]

To me that's a double edged sword. I'm still wondering at what point things get too complex and we get a worse crash due to this? It's absolutely, 110% a safety issue. Training is one part of it, design is the other part of it, human factors is a part of it. To me, there needs to be clear splitting of driving duties, an train managing uties. Ideally, you'd have someone on the train crew whose sole job it is to manage the train, run the TMS, run the doors, et cetera, similar to how aircraft crews are with a pilot whose sole job it is to fly, an the other monitors what is going onm though airliners are suffering the same issue with entirely too much complexity. I don't think you can fairly compare earlier rolling stock with today's trains, though. You have to look at it in context. How much more complex were the trains when they were brought into service versus what was already in service however?

[@alanlmsca]

@@jacekatalakis8316 I guess the point I’m making is that the older rolling stock, which has less complexity in the driver’s cab still performs adequately. The fact that more modern trains are more ‘complex’ due to additional features, should not lead to them being more complex to drive. Those features that are not requiring driver operation whilst in motion, perhaps should be positioned out of the line of sight of the driver to reduce the information over load. As good as it would be to have a second person with the driver, I doubt the train companies will go for that as it will be another person to pay! The thing is, one person operation is ok. There was a time when HSTs operating at 125mph had a second person, but that reduced to one person in the end. I guess for me, it still boils down to understanding human factors and keeping things simple for the driver whilst the train is in motion. Having said that, even though I am a design engineer, I won’t profess to be knowledgable about todays newer rolling stock.

@@Danse_Macabre_125 why be so hostile. I only made a comment. So a HST is a upgraded DMU? Take a chill pill at least the older classes had style unlike the current crap designs. If Sir Nigel Gresley was watching the way design has gone he'd be ashamed.

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

@user-xh3lz9xt4l it was mostly satire to prevent people being pedants, didn't mean to offend, sorry. Yes, HSTs when new were called Class 253 and 254 as they were viewed to be DEMUs, which explains why, for example, a standard class HST MK3 carriage is labelled as 42xyz while a loco hauled MK3 standard class is labelled as 12xyz

[@kristinajendesen7111]

I don't feel bad now about coming of the road in Salisbury depot. There are spring points up by the head shunt. I had gone over them and changed ends to go back down towards the detanking section but didn't notice that they were half cooked and set for neither direction. Just the front bogie off. So tempting to stick it in reverse to see if it would rerail itself but I couldn't risk it. Lack of maintenance on the points was the outcome.

[@JTV84]

no harm done and not your fault. wish i could say the same for this guy.

[@kristinajendesen7111]

@@JTV84 Technically they could have said 'you didn't check the points' and I'm surprised they didn't. You turn the engines off at the top of the headshunt & roll back down under gravity. There is a light on a post over the points I was screened for drink & drugs though which is normal in the case of an incident. The depot manager had accused me of not going far enough over the points before setting back. A week later I was rolling back down and stopped in front of the points. They were half cocked again. This time I called the shunter up on the radio to witness it. THEN they decided it was a good idea to catch up on the maintenance of the points. No apology from the maintenance depot manager though for the false accusation.

[@sw01ller]

it was your fault. Always check these points when going over them, it take 1 second to make sure there's no gap. poor driving.

[@peterhalliwell8634]

your graphic of L772 is wrong, position light signals do not clear with main aspects, there are many features in this accident and its causes that you have overlooked, did you read the RAIB report? Consider too the speed of creep control and the operation of the driver interface with the control system, there are many reasons why this was a trap for a driver to fall into which does not come out in your analysis. The behaviour of the train at such low speed is also very interesting but beyond the scope of your short video.

[@Jakeso]

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll take it into consideration. Yes I did read the RAIB and it’s likely that some things would have been missed to pack all that info into a shorter length video. I don’t think the driver was at fault as he had a lot of things going on, but the base things I took from the RAIB reports to get short but informative videos but if I’ve missed something out that’s my fault and I’ll work on improving.

Sounds like they should use the same mantra as pilots "first fly the plane" ie first drive the train and deal with other distractions only when able. If the distractions have to be dealt with urgently and can't be done simultaneously, with driving the train, then stop the train (something pilots can't do).

The importance of not getting distracted is all very well and good but sometimes things happen that are outwith the control of the driver.

[@paulrowden1957]

Knowning the area and heading to the depot trains follow each other signal to signal under the rules you can have two trains in a section (Permissive Block) but the driver of the following train must be prepared to stop short of any obstruction ,, in this case he was distracted ..
