Signalling interlocks do indeed stop signals from being set until points are locked in place. Likely a spad.
Can also confirm that the incident was not the result of a SPAD▸ . Poorly maintained track/points or wagon fault? |

No class 66 involved.  Human error but not on the part of the on train personnel. Still under formal investigation. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

No problem, tramway! I'm just rather amused that TheSprinterMeister clearly knows rather more than he's letting on! |

The RAIB▸ have just added this derailment to the list of current investigations on their website.The RAIB is carrying out an investigation into a derailment that occurred at East Somerset Junction on 10 November 2008.
The accident occurred at 02:33 hrs when the two locomotives hauling the delayed 22:31 hrs (9 November) service from Merehead Quarry in Somerset to Acton Yard in west London derailed at low speed on trap points as the train approached the main line at East Somerset Junction. The train was operated by English Welsh & Scottish (EWS▸ ) Railway Ltd. There were no injuries arising from the derailment, and only minor damage to the track, signalling equipment and the two locomotives. Train services between Westbury and Castle Cary were disrupted until 12:40 hrs on 11 November 2008, pending recovery of the locomotives and repairs to the infrastructure.
The RAIB's preliminary examination indicates no issues with the condition and operation of the train or the condition of the track that could have contributed to the accident.
The RAIB's investigation is independent of any investigations by the safety authority.
The RAIB will publish a report, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of its investigation. This report will be available on the RAIB website. So as TSM▸ said, not the fault of the train crew or a failure of the train. TLM |

I know where that is (I live near there), thats at Witham Friary between Bruton Station and Frome Branch Line. The line goes up towards Torr works and divides at Wanstrow to Torr works quarry and Cranmore ( ESR▸ )  |
