| Summary: | The chapter consists of a number of personal and professional reflections on the police management of train crashes from a ‘front line, first responder’ perspective dating back to the late 1990s. This includes train crashes and derailments in Leicestershire and at Ladbroke Grove, Potters Bar, Hatfield, West Ealing, and Ufton Nervet. A perspective is also given from a passenger point of view using my experience gained at the Hatfield train crash. Consideration is given as to whether the lessons learnt from previous train crashes, including the Clapham train crash, were relevant in terms of the police response to the incidents under discussion. The chapter also considers how the relationship BTP has had with other agencies, including other police forces, Network Rail, train operating companies, and RAIB, has developed. The lessons learnt from the incidents within the chapter will then be considered in the context of current thinking and guidance into the management of train crashes. |
