Sample Quote "This Inquiry arises out of the crash at Ladbroke Grove Junction on 5 October 1999 between trains operated by Thames Trains and First Great Western...which caused considerable loss of life and injuries. Part 1 of the Inquiry is concerned with the investigation of the causes of the crash and the circumstances in which it occurred, lessons which should be drawn from what happened, and recommendations for the improvement of safety in the future."

Archivist's Summary Part 1 of the report of the Cullen Inquiry into the collision between a Thames Train turbo commuter train and a First Great Western High Speed Train at Ladbroke Grove; in which 301 people died.

The primary cause of the crash was the failure of Driver Hodder of the Thames Turbo to stop at the infamous signal SN109, which was showing red. The death and injury toll was exacerbated by the fire which broke out when the HST diesel fuel ignited.

Some of the recommendations in the report are sensible; particularly relating to the failures surrounding the inadequate sighting of SN109, particularly after the line was electrified in 1996. Others are less so.
