 The UK's rail network is one of the safest in the world, but this is a reputation that has been hard-won through a dark history of death and destruction. Each of these accidents has helped to prevent another in the future. Signals to Danger is a series of Podcasts exploring and explaining the worst disasters on the UK rail network. Using reports, inquiries, news articles and first hand accounts, we will dive deep into these accidents and understand what went wrong, who was effected and how each incident went on to change the railway going forwards.

    Eltham Well Hall - 1972
    Jul 6 2025

    In June 1972, a day of leisure for railway workers and their families ended in tragedy on the curve at Eltham Well Hall. This episode examines the circumstances surrounding one of the UK's most avoidable rail accidents — a derailment caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol. This week we’re covering how a single catastrophic decision led to the loss of five lives and injury to over a hundred more.

  • Rail Safety Review 30th June 2025

    Rail Safety Review 30th June 2025
    Jun 29 2025

    In this Rail Safety Review, we dive into the RAIB’s 2024 Annual Report, exploring six key safety themes from the past year—from track worker and platform safety to vegetation management and asset integrity. We also take a closer look at the concept of Human Factors and how they influence modern accident investigations, including incident and human performance factors. Even without new RAIB reports, there’s still plenty to discuss in the world of rail safety.

    Jun 22 2025

    On this weeks episode of Signals to Danger we head back to 1989 and the South London suburb of Purley. After a signal is passed at danger one train collides into the rear of another that has just the station, with carriages tumbling down an embankment into the back gardens of local residents. Join us to hear what happened and what investigators found when they descended on the scene.

This podcast is wonderful it’s sound effect and background music make all the better. Dan will not disappoint however if you are easily sickened or faint of heart probably not for you there are some pretty grim scenes although Dan generally avoids the war wrecks (with the only exception being quintenshill 1915 I think) every episode has more than a few gory deaths. Either way great podcast. To all those who ride the rails Watch Look and Listen.

Wonderful and sobering
