The Rail Accident Investigation Branch is investigating after a passenger train narrowly avoided striking two track workers near London Bridge station at 12:40 a.m. on July 30, 2025, following an emergency brake application by the driver.
The workers climbed onto an adjacent walkway when they saw the approaching train, which was traveling under 20 mph and stopped short of a possession limit board. Investigators said the workers had mistakenly placed the board on a section of the line that remained open to traffic.
No one was injured, and no damage was reported. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch completed a preliminary examination and will issue a safety digest based on the evidence gathered so far.
