21. In accordance with the Railway Safety Act 2005 the RAIU investigate all serious accidents. Under slightly different conditions, this occurrence may have lead to a serious accident such as a derailment or a collision with a train on the Down Main line where there would be a potential for fatalities, serious injuries and extensive damage. As a result of these possible consequences the RAIU have made the decision to investigate this occurrence.
