- Issue date: 30 April 2025
- Compliance date: 23 June 2025
- Status: Open
- Public register ID: I/JL/30042025
Summary:
London Underground have failed to conduct their undertaking in such a way as to ensure, so far is as reasonably practicable, that persons not in their employment such as members of public are not exposed to risks to their health and safety as a result of failure to implement effective measures to deter and prevent unauthorised access to railway infrastructure beyond the platform end barriers, namely to operational railway tracks and exposed high voltage electrical conductors
Improvement Notice issued to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited
- Issue date: 16 April 2025
- Compliance date: 16 April 2026
- Status: Open
- Public register ID: IN/16042025/AMC/01
Summary:
The ongoing investigation into the circumstances of the freight train derailment at Audenshaw on 6 September 2024 shows that Network Rail are not conducting their undertaking in such a way as to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable, that train passengers and other persons not in their employment who may be affected thereby are not exposed to risks to their health or safety as they do not have appropriate arrangements in place to ensure that track maintenance activities which are needed to manage train derailment risks are effectively planned, organised, monitored and reviewed.
