The U.K. Rail Accident Investigation Branch is looking into the March 15 death of a track worker on the Midland Main Line in Hertfordshire, England.

Britain’s transport secretary this week ordered HS2 Ltd. to hunt for ways to cut costs and reduce delays on the high-speed rail project, including reconsidering design choices that could add complexity and push back the day passengers actually ride the line.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch identified two possible underlying factors that led to a wagon being pushed by a rail-mounted crane during overnight engineering work near Port Glasgow station last year striking two track workers.
