Warning of more train signal deaths

Andrew Evans of University College London, in a study compiled with assistance from Railtrack and published in the New Year edition of Modern Railways, suggests missed warning signals will lead to collisions or derailments every year, with many deaths, unless measures suggested following the Paddington disaster are put into operation. This is even with installation of the promised £200mn train protection warning system (TPWS) designed for trains travelling below 70 mph.
