	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 15 Dec 2004 (pt 3)
		The survivability of a rail crash is the result of a complex interaction between different forces, or the kinematic behaviour of the incident—basically, the higher the train's speed, the greater the likelihood of serious injury.
		As it follows the Ufton Nervet accident, the thoughts of all of us are with the families who have been affected by that tragedy, including that of the train driver, Stan Martin, who was just doing in his job, and with Peter Webster and others whose loved ones were killed.
		Member for Newbury is right to say that Ufton Nervet was the first time that there had been rail passenger casualties because of a level crossing incident for the best part of 18 years, and the incident before the one 18 years ago happened 20 years before.

		The HSE said Network Rail's strategy on level crossings set out requirements for the gradual removal of level crossings, and that "we are working with them to achieve that goal".
		The RMT rail union has called for all level crossings on intercity lines to be replaced with tunnels or bridges, but rail officials have said such a measure could cost up to £8bn.
		Mr Darling said it was too early to say whether the crash had happened because the driver of the car had been suicidal, and added: "At this stage, the police are still investigating and, before we are clear about what happened, it is premature to draw conclusions".

		The tragic accident that occurred at Ufton Nervet on Saturday when the 17.35 London to Plymouth Great Western collided with a vehicle on an unmanned level crossing raises a number of issues that the families of the bereaved and the injured will want answering.
		From our experience in acting for victims in the Paddington rail crash a number of important steps will need to be taken in the coming months.
		Little is known about the driver of the car which was found on the track; however if it was established that that person acted negligently and that they had a valid insurance policy in place at the time of the accident redress may well be accessible from the insurers of the car.

	Welcome to Ben Bradshaws Website
		Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the dead and injured; are thanks to the emergency and health services that as always did a fantastic job.
		The cause of the crash must be fully investigated to help us prevent a similar accident happening in future — although if someone is determined to drive onto rail tracks there is only so much we can do to stop them.
		Passenger numbers have been growing strongly, partly reflecting our strong economy, but also a shift from road to rail which is good for the environment and safety.

		Both crashes have resulted in a range of calls for more regulation and a re-elevation of the issue of safety, just when things seemed to be calming down.
		The fact that the Ufton Nervet crash happened on a railway crossing has led to immediate demands for a change to the way that the interface between roads and rail are handled.
		But while the UK rail network is currently almost half the size that it was in 1961, yet facilitates twice as many passenger journeys, building a few more lines might be a more urgent priority.
