That was down to pure luck the other train had stopped, not any action
on his part.

If those things had happened, debating sacking would be rather odd.

While on the face of it the incident appears to be entirely down to the
driver, we need the RAIB inquiry to assess the psychological factors into
why it happened and recommend ways of preventing a recurrence. Only when
that has been done can a fair assessment be made of the driver's
culpability.
