英国Rail Accident Investigation Branch的调查报告显示，2024年6月19日下午5时13分左右发生在Bedford的列车碰撞事故中，肇事列车驾驶员在收到越过红信号的警告后继续加速至76mph，最终未能及时制动1。这起事故导致60岁驾驶员Shaun Burton丧生，另有160人受伤1。
肇事列车为投入服务不足6个月的新型Hitachi Aurora class 810列车，其自动警告系统（AWS）在接收到红信号后正常工作，要求驾驶员在2.7秒内确认警告，否则将自动制动1。调查发现，驾驶员未能及时识别警告声音，原因在于对该新型列车驾驶舱布局不熟悉1。制动启动后，列车速度从76mph下降至49mph才与前方静止列车相撞1。这是英国自2020年以来涉及客运列车的第四起严重事故1。
A Rail Accident Investigation Branch inquiry into a collision near Bedford has revealed that the train driver continued to accelerate to 76 mph after receiving a red signal warning, failing to brake in time before striking a stationary train ahead 1. The crash occurred on June 19, 2024, at approximately 5:13 p.m., resulting in the death of 60-year-old driver Shaun Burton and injuring 160 people 1.
The investigation found that the Hitachi Aurora class 810 train, which had been in service for less than six months, was equipped with a functioning automatic warning system (AWS) designed to require driver confirmation within 2.7 seconds or trigger automatic braking 1. However, investigators determined that unfamiliarity with the new train's cab layout prevented the driver from promptly recognizing the warning sound 1. The train decelerated to 49 mph at the moment of impact 1.
Additional concerns emerged following the accident: the signal in question had never displayed red during the entire year of 2026 prior to the crash, and other trains of the same model received erroneous AWS warnings at the same signal location within weeks of the incident 1. This collision marks the fourth serious accident involving a passenger train in Britain since 2020 1.
