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