§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what reports he has received of the accident on the Barking-Gospel Oak railway line on 18 February; and what information he has of plans for changing the signalling of the line.
§ Mr. WattsThe circumstances of the collision at Wanstead Park between the 12.30 Barking to Gospel Oak passenger train and a Freightliner train standing at a signal are being investigated by the Health and Safety Executive's railway inspectorate, and by Railtrack and British Rail. It is too early to say what caused the accident and what, if any, remedial action is necessary.
