Class 66 derailment from Howie Millburn. Text from Mike Ford.
The RAIB is carrying out an investigation into a derailment that occurred at East Somerset Junction on 10 November 2008.
The accident occurred at 02:33 hrs when the two locomotives hauling the delayed 22:31 hrs (9 November) service from Merehead Quarry in Somerset to Acton Yard in west London derailed at low speed on trap points as the train approached the main line at East Somerset Junction. The train was operated by English Welsh & Scottish (EWS) Railway Ltd. There were no injuries arising from the derailment, and only minor damage to the track, signalling equipment and the two locomotives. Train services between Westbury and Castle Cary were disrupted until 12:40 hrs on 11 November 2008, pending recovery of the locomotives and repairs to the infrastructure.
The RAIB's preliminary examination indicates no issues with the condition and operation of the train or the condition of the track that could have contributed to the accident.
The RAIB's investigation is independent of any investigations by the safety authority.
The RAIB will publish a report, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of its investigation. This report will be available on the RAIB website
11 The immediate cause of the accident was that the signaller did not operate a set of points (943 points) to the correct position for the safe movement of train 7A91 (Figure 2).
12 Causal factors were:
a. the failure of the signalling equipment on the Merehead branch;
b. the lack of a method over and above use of route-setting cards for helping the signaller to ensure that he had taken the correct actions in manually setting the route for train 7A91 at the time that pilot working was introduced; and
c. the signaller did not refer to his route-setting cards when setting a route for train 7A91 between two signals (signal W275 and signal W77; see Figures 2 and 3);
13 It is probable that the signaller’s actions were affected by fatigue because of the number of hours and the nature of the shifts that he had worked in the period leading up to the accident. If this were the case, fatigue was a causal factor.
