Police were called to Banbury Railway Station twice on Saturday after a high demand for cabs to the Gatecrasher Festival in Westbury caused tempers to flare. http://www.oxfordmail.net/display.var.2295937.0.police_called_as_tempers_flare_at_cab_rank.php |

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.

It's maybe worth mentioning that this festival took place at an Aerodrome in Westbury close to Brackley in Northamptonshire, rather than in the better-known rail junction of Westbury in Wiltshire - just in case anyone else was wondering why people would be jumping into a taxi some 60 miles away at Banbury!

Surprised that nobody has commented on our little mishap at Banbury yesterday afternoon. A 165 got derailed on an ECS▸ move, leaving the Oxford-Banbury local service suspended for most of the rest of the day, and lots of other TOC▸ services 'delayed'!

It was commented on - but only in the frequent posters club, so get posting!  |

It wasn't particularly dramatic. Low speed and only one axle of one bogie was derailed I believe.

BUT - The RAIB▸ are still investigating - it seems as though statements from interested parties don't agree....

Yes, there's a whole range of issues that make this incident very strange. The only sure fact beyond question (viewed on the Turbo's front-facing CCTV▸ camera) is that the driver passed a semaphore shunting disk stack with all three disks 'on', i.e. at danger.

Oddly there is no mention of this incident in the "current investigations" section of the RAIB's website. |

Very odd then - because they stuck out a notification a few days after it happened saying they *were* looking into this....

Good, I'm not going mad, I was sure I remembered reading a notification on the RAIB▸ site about the investigation. It's definitely not there now though, nor is there a discontinuation report.  |

Thanks, chaps! I happen to have a contact at the RAIB▸ , and I have sent them an e-mail, seeking clarification on this. As soon as I have any details, I'll post them here! C. |

Update - I have now received an e-mail reply from the RAIB▸ : The RAIB attended a derailment involving an empty passenger train in Banbury goods line on the afternoon of 28 July 2009. We carried out a preliminary examination and identified that there were no safety lessons to be learned for the wider railway industry and that the causes were local to the incident. Network Rail conducted a formal investigation into the derailment in partnership with the train operator involved.
