"This report was undertaken at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister following the railway accident at Ladbroke Grove. It examines the consequences of signals passed at danger (SPADs) and recommends ways to minimise their effects including evaluating options for train protection. It argues that although less than 1% of SPADs lead to accidents they remain an area of serious concern for railway safety. The SPAD phenomenon occurs in other countries and on other railway systems. However, comparative statistics are not available owing to differences in signalling systems and data collection. More research on human factors and driver operation is strongly recommended but this must be augmented by an urgent programme of fitting enhanced forms of train protection."
