    From what I understand, basically just two people(the Pilotman and the IE Signaller) who didn't fully know and apply the rules for single line working.

    I think also it is unusual the driver of the train A122 that proceeded without a Pilotman into the section should really, really have been briefed earlier that there was SLW happening. He had no idea it seems and the system was that the signaller should have called him to let him know. In addition, I would think this type of info should have been mentioned to him by a manager or displayed on a bulletin board when be booked on- the other parties involved seemed to know that SLW was happening by 6am that morning.

    The non-commissioned bi-directional signalling and the lack of proper communication equipment were also highlights and ones which neither NIR/IE have addressed to date.

    I am surprised to see no recommendation regarding interoperable EU communications ie GSM-R. I have just spent 8.5 years on GSM-R development and rollout in Britain (all lines except the 2 RETB routes and every train cab). The drivers and signallers love it and makes life a lot easier during disruption
