 Report into Australian rail disaster shows government decisions undermined safety
The final section of a three-part report by a judicial inquiry into the Glenbrook rail disaster in New South Wales was brought down in April, nearly 16 months after the accident claimed the lives of seven people and injured 51 others.
These factors meant that rail personnel at Glenbrook and the main signal box at Penrith were unaware that the Indian Pacific had been stopped by another faulty red signal ahead of the suburban train.
It declared that, “no proper consideration was given to safety management in New South Wales when the 1996 disaggregation occurred” and that this led directly to “deficiencies in safety management”.
