LADB-9 Response Historic

Railtrack to conduct safety examination of Paddington station layout and operations.

Recommendation

Railtrack should conduct a safety examination of the layout over 0-2 miles from Paddington Station so as to satisfy the HMRI, if necessary by a risk assessment and additional measures, that it is safe for operation at current speeds and to current traffic arrangements. Such a safety examination should be repeated before the implementation of any change which is or may constitute, in the opinion of the HMRI, a material change of circumstances (para 7.126).
