Essex train derailment probe finds track might have been damaged before crash
Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleA Rail Accident Investigation Branch probe revealed a Greater Anglia train was travelling at 77mph when its rear carriage derailed south of Wickford station on 14 August. The driver reported seeing a kink in the track shortly before the derailment, which dragged the rear carriage for 1.5 miles but resulted in no injuries. Forward-facing CCTV confirmed a track misalignment at the derailment site, which caused significant damage to the track, signalling, and overhead electrification equipment. The investigation is examining track maintenance, train performance, and the effectiveness of measures taken to mitigate risks during hot weather. Network Rail introduced amended timetables on Essex lines after record heatwaves caused clay soil beneath the track to dry out and shrink.
