A train driver killed in the Bedford rail crash passed a red signal without stopping moments before the collision, investigators have said.
Shaun Burton, 60, was named as the only fatality of the crash that injured around 100 passengers on Friday last week.
His train slammed into another, which had halted due to a fault with its early warning system, the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) believe.
The RAIB’s interim report says that Burton had passed a red signal near the scene of the crash in Elstow, near Bedford.
