The Rail Accident Investigation Branch has announced that a safety digest will be produced after a passenger train reported a near miss with track workers near Nuneaton.
At around 01:39 on the 15th November 2022, a driver of a passenger train was travelling at 125mph when it reported a near miss with track workers near to Bulkington, which is around 4 miles south of Nuneaton.
The track workers were clearing ballast for the delivery of new rail.
The line that the workers were on was blocked to trains and the workers were using a separated safe system of work to keep them away from the open line on which trains were running.
Having completed a preliminary examination, the RAIB has decided to publish a safety digest, which will be available in the near future.
Thank you s.noon for your reply and correct service that passed narrowly missing track workers near Nuneaton.
A passenger train at 01.39 South of Nuneaton. Really.
