Signals? Trains? People are human. They bring human weaknesses to work, and considering how few major incidents we have on railways, it is a restatement to their professionalism. In fact, I think I’m right in saying most if not all of the injuries and fatalities recently have come from rail failures.

It would be better if the guard could still look out after the doors shut,he might well have thought "bloody hell it's red!" given one on the bell or "dropped the handle" and perhaps they'd have stopped in time.On many newer units this is no possible, such as 375s and 377s. But all three,driver,guard, and platform staff should've checked the signal aspect. I ALWAYS checked that before moving,and NEVER had a SPAD. They were lucky no damage was done.

Personally, when I had one (in the U.S., its just called "running a red signal"), I was in no danger. The grade crossing arms were down, the incoming train was holding at a red signal--waiting for me to exit the station and cross over. It's WAY over dramatized because there's ALWAYS a chance chance things could have gone haywire. The feeling sucks. You replay it in your head, wondering where you messed up. Then, all the retraining...kind of embarrassing. It's a dramatic to-do. Supervisors pull you off your train and send you home, after you do a write-up. Glad I only had one. I know some who've had three in a couple month's span.

@@SgtChip TPWS isn't to prevent SPADs through the train will usually still stop beyond the signal it's job is to reduce the consequences of a SPAD it should stop the train before it fouls a junction especially as some higher risk junctions hold two signals at danger, not just the one immediately prior. There are also 2 lines that have a proper train protection system that constantly monitors the speed of the train and calculates a speed curve to slow down for speed restrictions and red signals they were pilot programs that were supposed to be rolled out to the rest of the network but they cheaped out so that didn't happen and they rolled out TPWS instead. Now there's a slow rollout of ETCS Level 2 which is also an ATP system but more suited for the 21st century and will replace AWS and TPWS eventually but the pace of that is glacial.

No driver sets out to SPAD and it takes a very real toll on your personal physiology. Any rail investigator will tell you that any incident is always because of the failure of a number of things as this video shows. The hardest part of preventing SPADs is getting drivers to open up when they've got personal problems. The former CEO of my railway started out as a driver on the London Underground. I started driving trains in Sydney in 1984. Even though we started in railways on opposite sides of the world we were both told the same thing..."When something is going wrong then STOP and take a moment to think about the problem". Drivers need to recognise: 1. when things are getting on top of them 2. if something has gone wrong then don't make it worse by trying to keep going or cover it up and 3. if you're having personal issues please ask for help, no-one will think less of you and most will admire it for you. I always tell my drivers "It's easier to explain a delay than it is to explain a derailment or worse". There is a belief out there at least on my railway (not always unwarranted) that they'll hang you for causing a delay. If the delay is for no real reason then you deserve to be hung but if there was a very good reason then nobody can touch you. The fact is that SPADs cost a railway a lot of money whereas a delay is an inconvenience. Losing an experienced driver who made a mistake and has learnt their lesson means that the organisation is not learning and will keep making the same mistakes.

The guy at 17:00 sums up a lot of industries right there, not just railways. When people are so used to everything running without issue, when something is different, it doesn't register.

That's because you see the same thing literally every day for 10 years, it can be a little hard to get out of that routine.

As a motorman on Southern Region, I ALWAYS thought you should KNOW YOUR ROAD ! Never mind chavs chucking things on the line, or shooting airguns, my job was to drive safely and protect my crew and passengers. I feel sorry for Bernie though, but with the way it is now, the Train Operating Company will put points on your driver's licence, even though something may not be your fault. They will also get rid of you if you have too much time off as a result of an incident. SouthEastern Trains and sister Southern are notorious for this sort of thing. Glad I'm retired. Don't bother even applying for a job on the failway now. It's full of red tape, arsewipes, and backstabbers galore.

Exactly the wrong way to deal with failures. Rather than focusing on who is to blame, and deciding that people who fail are bad and should be gotten rid of, you improve safety by figuring out why people failed, helping then learn from their mistakes, and looking at the whole system with fresh eyes to see how it can be changed to make mistakes less likely and less costly when they do happen. People who've learned from past mistakes are an asset.

I would say for the first driver. The delays of both trains and the lack of a break to refresh plus the distraction lead to his train doing a SPAD. The second incident though. I felt sorry for the poor driver because of eejits tossing a rock at his train (which could have killed him if it made contact!) and the woman on the tracks and the sheep incident was all stacked against him. The faulty buzzer unless the guard was doing that stupid and potentially dangerous prank and the poor driver going through a divorce which can be messy was the result of the third SPAD. They are all human and are prone to making mistakes as well like the rest of us. Though thankfully none resulted in a crash.
