West Coast prosecution delayed again [Rail News]





Date: 21/03/2016

The prosecution of heritage operator West Coast Railways and one of its drivers has been delayed again.
Swindon Crown Court had been due to hear pleas on Friday 18 March in response to health and safety charges brought by the Office of Rail and Road.
The case had been brought after a WCR steam-hauled special overran signals at Wootton Bassett Junction near Swindon in March last year. The locomotive came to a stand on the Great Western Main Line, having narrowly missed a collision with a GWR High Speed Train.
