## Resource

Two trains narrowly avoided disaster near Todmorden, West Yorkshire, when an empty train crept past a signal unnoticed, prompting a frantic brake stop—just 12 seconds before a Leeds-bound train thundered through the same junction at 45 mph. No injuries or damage occurred, but the Rail Accident Investigation Branch is now probing signaling errors, staff training, and new shunting schedules that may have contributed to the near-miss. A sobering reminder: precision saves lives on the rails. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
