25 years on from Ladbroke Grove and innovation for a safer railway

Bosch person detection on Dickon Ross. RAIL

RAIL Editor Dickon Ross reflects on the future of rail safety, from the Innotrans rail technology show in Berlin.

On October 5, it will be the 25th anniversary of the Ladbroke Grove disaster, which claimed 31 lives and injured hundreds more. It led to an inquiry that instigated important changes in safety governance, including new regulatory bodies that are still in existence today.

Our feature (pages 34-37) looks at the results of those changes after Ladbroke Grove. They made a real difference, saving lives in the years since.
