Near miss with a track worker at Ynys Hir

[Adlington]

At around 11:58 hrs on 2 April 2019, a track worker was nearly hit by a passenger train at Ynys Hir, between Dovey Junction and Borth stations. The trackworker was one of a group walking along the track to a railway access point. The train was travelling at approximately 95 km/h (59 mph) when the driver applied the emergency brake and was slowing down as the track worker moved clear immediately before the train passed.

Fortunately nobody was hurt. RAIB will publish a safety digest.
