Train crash

According to my AI search Assistant there is an APT system in the train which automatically applies the brakes if a train passes a red light

in the UK, the Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system can apply the brakes automatically if a train passes a red signal without stopping. This system is designed to prevent collisions and enhance safety on the rail network.

I fear that the cause of the accident must be more than just a failure to stop on the part of the driver.

I wonder how far from the red was the stationery train?

I think it’s a shame this interim report has been released - there is more analysis to come as to whether the Automatic Warning System was functioning correctly. For his family’s sake, I don’t see why they couldn’t have waited

A lot of tracks still don’t have ATP systems MaizieD. Sounds like this is one of them. I guess it is expensive to install and some private companies won’t have done it for all their tracks- if at all I suppose.
