Two Trains Crash Into Each Other After Derailment in England

SAILSBURY, U.K. - Two trains have collided in Salisbury, England, on Sunday, October 31 after the first hit an object and derailed, according to the BBC, with a Network Rail spokesperson cited by the Press Association explaining that the 1708 Great Western Railway service from Portsmouth Harbour to Bristol Temple Meads hit the object inside a tunnel as it approached Salisbury station at around 6:46 p.m.
The derailment then knocked out signalling in the area as the 1720 South Western Railway service from London Waterloo to Honiton approached the tunnel.
]
From there, one local resident said they heard ‘no screeching like brakes, just a long rumbling sound like thunder hitting the railway line, and one woman on the second train said she was “thrown against the wall and there was a massive rumbling,” as it collided with the first train, injuring 17 people and initially trapping one of the train’s drivers in their train.

The GWR did not hit an object the SWR driver passed a signal at danger then it hit the train and the 158 and 159 both derailed in the tunnel there was no object on the tracks

This reminds me of that one accident that happened on December 12, 1988

[@maxcruickshank2713]

here is another dramatic crash near Stonehaven, Scotland, when a landslide happens, the train stops and backs up, then derails.

[@maxcruickshank2713]

It happened in August 202p after a thunderstorm.

i didnt realise there was so much train drama

[@Boypogikami132]

Maybe the cause of this whole incident was because of an employee going rogue and placing a ‘portable derail’ on the tracks to sabotage the GWR and Southwestern trains

The second train ran a red signal. Making this a human error accident. Ironically, that driver was the only one seriously injured, sustaining life changing injuries.

[@joshuaritchie3836]

The second had a SPAD because of leaves on the line and in some case it can be like driver car a on black ice.

[@davidwebb4904]

@@joshuaritchie3836 The rule of driving in low adhesion conditions is the same for trains as it is cars. Allow more distance from the vehicle in front of you, and drive at a speed where you can stop in the available distance.

[@joshuaritchie3836]

@@davidwebb4904 The SWR train applied it's service brakes before the cautionary signal and 12 seconds later an emergency brake application was made and the train had a SPAD.
