The Ladbroke Grove accident of 1999 was a key accident in our history. It led to improvements in the way we tackle SPADs and sped the development of the Train Protection and Warning System. As a result, SPAD risk came down, but SPADs remain an issue for GB rail.

In this webinar, we will describe the accident, what happened and what came next. But we will also cover the current picture of SPAD risk, how this is tackled by the industry today and how it might tackle it tomorrow.
