The train involved in the Bedford rail crash accelerated after its driver received an automatic warning for passing a red light, rail investigators have reported, according to the Guardian.
The driver of the East Midlands train, who died in the crash in June, acknowledged the warning, but the train continued to speed up rather than slow down, investigators found.
The findings add detail to the circumstances surrounding the crash, in which the train ran into the back of another train.
Further findings from the investigation, including its conclusions on the cause of the acceleration, were not included in the available report.
