Investigation into a member of staff hit by a train at London Victoria, on 13 November 2007
Shortly after 14:00 hrs train 2A32, the 13.00 Maidstone East – London Victoria was approaching London Victoria station on the up Chatham fast line at Grosvenor Road Bridge. A team of three permanent way staff were inspecting the line on the adjacent down Chatham fast line, and the Controller of Site Safety, or COSS, was struck by the train as it reached him.
The RAIB's investigation into the incident is proceeding independently of any parallel investigations by the safety authority, but the RAIB will share technical evidence as appropriate, subject to legal exclusions such as the identity and statements of witnesses.
The RAIB will publish a report, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of its investigation. This report will be available on the RAIB website.
