Spotlight on Safety: tackling the train overspeeding challenge
A look at the causes, consequences, and prevention strategies
We are pleased to present the September 2024 edition of Spotlight on Safety. In this video, RSSB's Chief Executive Officer, Mark Phillips, discusses train overspeeding with Apoorv Shrivastava and Nidhi Ajmera.
Train overspeeding is a critical safety concern that can have severe consequences. By understanding the causes and risks associated with overspeeding, we can take proactive steps to prevent accidents and protect lives.
The Overspeed Group recently endorsed the cross-industry overspeed work programme for CP7. It includes work associated with deciding when a speed restriction is required and how it should be communicated. It also addresses decisions on the duration of the restriction and improvements to investigations and data on overspeeding events.
This video provides valuable insights into the challenges and solutions related to train overspeeding. We encourage you to share this video with your colleagues.
Discover the dangers of train speeds that are too high, and explore effective strategies to prevent them.
