Investigating railway accidents – Interview with RAIB Deputy Chief Inspector
Railway accidents and train crashes are investigated thoroughly to find out what caused them and how they can be prevented from happening again.
We spoke to Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) Deputy Chief Inspector Andy Lewis to find out how accident investigation has changed, what RAIB’s role is, and to learn about recent accidents.
We discuss the Flying Scotsman collision at the Strathspey Railway in Aviemore in September 2023, and the more recent fatal accident at Talerddig in Wales in October 2024.
In this episode:
(00:00) Intro
(00:20) What is the RAIB?
(03:01) How does RAIB work with other investigators?
(08:27) Why does it take so long to produce accident reports?
(11:17) Flying Scotsman crash at the Strathspey Railway
(16:57) Talerddig train crash report
(21:37) Broughty Ferry report
