Was a 4 car 158
RAIB report will be interesting on this one when a following train has received a proceed aspect allowing an initial accident to be worsened. Delighted to here the injuries are minor as this is most important fact currently.

My thoughts with all involved. I don’t know which depots the crews will be from on those diagrams.
SWR will be 158/9.
GWR very likely 165/6.
Will await the police/RAIB statement on what’s happened.
Thanks for clarification.GWR was 2 x 158s swapped to a 166 at Westbury.
Isn't this precisely the reason why emergency protection is laid? Obviously if the driver and guard were trapped this wasn't possible.
SWR was 3 x 159 (159014, 159017 & 159018).My thoughts with all involved. I don’t know which depots the crews will be from on those diagrams.

Do you mean that 2x 158s were involved in the collision and a 166 took over the rest of the diagram from Westbury?GWR was 2 x 158s swapped to a 166 at Westbury.

158762/763 quoted as the units forming 1F30.SWR was 3 x 159 (159014, 159017 & 159018).
2nd train was less than a couple of mins behind at Salisbury Tunnel Junction so unlikely time for emergency protection to be laid.
It would be quite a stretch for the second train to get a false proceed aspect. No aspect is more plausible, and what we see on the TD maps is not inconsistent with this.
If power to this area is fed through the tunnel and the cable has been severed that would lead to dark signals so plausible but not sure what drivers responsibilities are in this situation.It would be quite a stretch for the second train to get a false proceed aspect.

Sorry, you're not making much sense. 1F30 hadn't got to Westbury as it was running from Portsmouth to Bristol. Or are you saying it was swapped on the outward to Portsmouth on 1F19?No the swap happened prior to the collision.
Blank signals are to be treated as a red.If power to this area is fed through the tunnel and the cable has been severed that would lead to dark signals so plausible but not sure what drivers responsibilities are in this situation.
If a signal is dead then it's emergency stop and contact signaller immediately.If power to this area is fed through the tunnel and the cable has been severed that would lead to dark signals so plausible but not sure what drivers responsibilities are in this situation.
We shall learn in due course what happened but knowing where signals are is a key part of route knowledge. I say this as a general point and not as an observation on this specific incident.If power to this area is fed through the tunnel and the cable has been severed that would lead to dark signals so plausible but not sure what drivers responsibilities are in this situation.
These photos have clearly been photographed off a screen. Whoever is leaking these images and other information from internal sources should be ashamed.
The replies to that tweet of the images are either people saying this tweet should be taken down or journalists asking for the rights to use them.
If the signals were not lit then the driver should have treated them as being their most restrictive aspect.If power to this area is fed through the tunnel and the cable has been severed that would lead to dark signals so plausible but not sure what drivers responsibilities are in this situation.
