Signals to Danger - Railway disasters in the UK

In June 1972, a day of leisure for railway workers and their families ended in tragedy on the curve at Eltham Well Hall. This episode examines the circumstances surrounding one of the UK's most avoidable rail accidents — a derailment caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol. This week we’re covering how a single catastrophic decision led to the loss of five lives and injury to over a hundred more.OPENING CREDITSMusic track: Epic Motivation by AylexSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree To Use Music for VideoMusic track: Research Station by Project ExSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree Background Music for VideoMusic track: Lineage by AlegendSource: https://freetouse.com/musicNo Copyright Background MusicMusic track: Emotional Moments by AlegendSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree To Use Music for VideosMusic track: Spheres by AlegendSource: https://freetouse.com/musicRoyalty Free Background MusicMusic track: Arrival by AylexSource: https://freetouse.com/musicRoyalty Free Background MusicEND CREDITSMusic track: Saved by Brothers by AylexSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree Background Music for Video

In this Rail Safety Review, we dive into the RAIB’s 2024 Annual Report, exploring six key safety themes from the past year—from track worker and platform safety to vegetation management and asset integrity. We also take a closer look at the concept of Human Factors and how they influence modern accident investigations, including incident and human performance factors. Even without new RAIB reports, there’s still plenty to discuss in the world of rail safety.Credits and IdentsMusic track: Epic Motivation by AylexSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree To Use Music for Video
