The Metrorex report in the case of the collision of the two trains in the Timpuri Noi station | Radio Bucharest FM – Radio Music Live Online

The Metrorex report reveals several irregularities from the evening when two trains collided at Timpuri Noi station.

The train mechanic who caused the subway accident at the end of February misunderstood the command to override the signal. The conclusion appears in the Metrorex report, which reveals several irregularities from the evening when two trains collided at Timpuri Noi station.

Following the checks, the train driver who caused the accident, two traffic employees, the shift leader and the traffic operator will be subject to a disciplinary investigation.

From the recorded conversations conducted through the radio communication station, it appears that the train driver, who was on the opposite direction due to a breakdown on another train stopped near the Dristor station, did not understand what was being transmitted to him.

“The mechanic of train 04 mistakenly understood that he received a command to overtake the stop signal, although the command was addressed to train 42.

a) The shift leader does not communicate the signal with the stop indication that must be exceeded and does not request the collation of the verbal disposition through the radio communication installation.

b) The mechanic of train 04 does not collate the verbal instruction that he considers to be addressed to him and does not ask the shift leader to repeat the instruction specifying the stop signal that must be passed.”

Other deficiencies are highlighted in the report. The mechanic did not verify the information received. And the traffic clerk at Piața Unirii who would not have paid attention to what was conveyed to him.

“The order given by the movement operator to the IDM Piața Unirii 1 is not fluent and clear, being given with interruptions and overlaps in the telephone conversation, and the IDM Piața Unirii did not understand what he had to execute, he was not even careful to listen to the whole order of the movement operator .”

Following the checks, the driver of the train that caused the accident, two movement employees, the shift leader and the movement operator will be subject to disciplinary investigation.

On February 27, two trains collided between Mihai Bravu and Timpuri Noi stations. The trains were not speeding and no one was injured. Metro traffic was affected for tens of minutes.
