The Train Driver did not complete the pre-service checks and follow the instruction correctly in relation to vacating and occupying cabs; therefore the RAIU make the following safety recommendation to improve train drivers’ competency management systems:
IÉ should review their system for introducing new train drivers’ manuals, to ensure that train drivers are fully trained and assessed in all aspects of these manuals.
