Like many, I've been an avid listener of Dan Fox's excellent Signals to Danger podcast.
Although there haven't been so many serious and deadly accidents as 15-25 years ago, thank heavens, it got me thinking about the training that crew get in terms of preparing for a catastrophic accident.
Naturally, crew will be trained an know how to handle more minor mishaps, but what sort of training is given (if any) to prepare traincrew for a major accident, eg a severe derailment? Do crew routinely learn about the accidents of recent decades in detail, with a view to instilling an even quicker response? Or are accident response protocols pretty much the same, whatever the event?
