I'm trying to track down an accident report following an incident where a Thames Turbo tried to exit the turnback siding at Bedwyn against a red signal and forced an HST to make an emergency stop.

I think it was the early 2000s but of course when you put Bedwyn and train into Google you get loads of links to the Ladbroke Grove accident.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

If there was no actual accident it may have only made into the internal safety reports etc,
so I'd suggest it might show up in a search of RSSB's various archived reports for the time:

http://www.rssb.co.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/pdf/aspr200102%20apps.pdf  (Annual Safety Performance Report)

This is probably it:

13.10.01 Bedwyn - Gt Western - Thames Trains
Empty DMU derailed in siding following SPAD;
obstructed running line

Just in case their search engine is under reporting results for Bedwyn, there's a list of documents here to trawl through manually:

 I also had a quick look at the 'Railways Archive' website,

http://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk/index.php

but that doesn't seem to hold anything that I can find easily - could the incident be logged under somewhere else than Bedwyn?

Hope that helps - even if only a start

PS - added HSE to a Google search for Oct 01 and found this:

I remember the incident.

I am sure  Paul has pointed you to the right one.

Many thanks.  I had tried the Railwayarchive and drawn a blank - but the RSSB link is invaluable.  That's great.
