Rec No. Status RAIB Concern Recommendation RAIB Summary of current status
05/2024/01 Closed - I None The intent of this recommendation is for Freightliner to more effectively
manage the risks associated with the operation of light locomotives.
Freightliner should review its risk assessments and processes associated
with the operation of light locomotives, including those for managing test
runs, to ensure that any inherent operational risk is recognised and
mitigated. This review should include consideration of the required
competence and experience of staff involved, their training and the
provision of any information to them that could be relevant. Freightliner
should introduce any necessary changes identified as part of this review
(paragraph 133a).
This recommendation may also be applicable to other freight operating
companies and to any other transport undertakings that operate light
locomotives.
05/2024/02 Closed - I None The intent of this recommendation is to improve the ability of
Freightliner’s train drivers to effectively deal with out-of-course scenarios.
Freightliner should review how it trains and assesses train drivers to
effectively and safely manage abnormal, out-of-course and potentially
stressful situations. This review should consider whether the use of
training simulations, or other means, has the potential to better equip
train drivers to safely manage such situations. Freightliner should
introduce any necessary changes identified by this review (paragraphs
132a.i, 133b, 134a and 134c).
