Another incident has occured at Charing Cross. Initial notification on RAIB.
It is an interesting question that is the ALARP arguement actually supportable in law? Many of these new incidents seems to lay the blame on the industry (and the RAIB findings certainly seem to want to indicate blame is entirely within the industry rather than commenting on the continued abuse of crossings etc), supported by the families (sometime, one might suggest in support of compensation claims) where the actual blame is potentially due to misuse, ignorance of the law and so forth. The Liverpool guard must feel he has been treated most unfairly and what do the driver/dispatcher of the Charing X incident feel against the media backlash?
