UK - CAMBRIAN LINE ACCIDENT: INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY The Cambrian Line in Wales, the UK's first rail route equipped with the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), is set to resume normal services today following last week's tragic collision. This accident resulted in one fatality and 15 injuries, marking the first fatal rail incident in years. An investigation is underway to understand the causes, including how the ERTMS, designed to enhance safety, was involved in the incident. Network Rail and Transport for Wales have completed their on-site investigation, allowing for the removal of damaged trains. While services will resume, disruptions may still affect travel in the short term. Key areas of focus for the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) include the low adhesion between wheels and tracks, potentially exacerbated by fallen leaves in wooded areas surrounding the line. The Cambrian Line, a single-track railway, poses unique safety challenges, especially during adverse conditions. Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy. #SafetyNeverStops #RailSafety #PublicTransport https://lnkd.in/genyNxAW
