And that's just one of many borked procedures this incident brought to
light (see paragraphs 214 onwards for a list). I've never seen an RAIB
report that paints an entire company in such a bad light.


The issue for me is that it isn't really one company involved. There are
many different parties and while not entirely unusual in the rail
industry it does highlight that risks exist at interfaces - asset,
company, organisational. system.

I recognise Serco are the main party here and I wonder just how much
this has cost them financially and reputationally.

Could the recent reported problems about trains not stopping in the
