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.

Britain’s Rail Accident Investigation Branch has issued five safety recommendations after a passenger was trapped by the doors of an Elizabeth line train in November and dragged along the platform at Ealing Broadway station in November 2024.
