In June 1972, a day of leisure for railway workers and their families ended in tragedy on the curve at Eltham Well Hall. This episode examines the circumstances surrounding one of the UK's most avoidable rail accidents — a derailment caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol. This week we’re covering how a single catastrophic decision led to the loss of five lives and injury to over a hundred more.

In this Rail Safety Review, we dive into the RAIB’s 2024 Annual Report, exploring six key safety themes from the past year—from track worker and platform safety to vegetation management and asset integrity. We also take a closer look at the concept of Human Factors and how they influence modern accident investigations, including incident and human performance factors. Even without new RAIB reports, there’s still plenty to discuss in the world of rail safety.

On this weeks episode of Signals to Danger we head back to 1989 and the South London suburb of Purley. After a signal is passed at danger one train collides into the rear of another that has just the station, with carriages tumbling down an embankment into the back gardens of local residents. Join us to hear what happened and what investigators found when they descended on the scene.
