A steam train driver and their employer have been charged over a near miss in which a locomotive stopped across a busy main line railway junction. Safety equipment had allegedly been bypassed on the Tangmere locomotive which meant it passed a signal at danger in Wiltshire earlier this year. The legal proceedings have been brought by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
