Investigation into Chilham derailment

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch has announced its investigation into the derailment at Chilham* last Sunday:

Our investigation will examine the sequence of events before, during and after the incident, in particular:

• the fencing at this location 

• the railway’s response to reports of cows being on the line 

• the behaviour of the train after it struck the cows 

It will also examine any relevant management issues.

Having been aboard the train, I look forward to this report.

* The Branch refers to it as the "Deraliment at Godmersham", which is indeed the nearest village to the accident site, but all the reports at the time referred to Chilham.
