This programme looks at the collision between two high speed trains at the Wales end of the Severn Tunnel on Dec. 7, 1991. It discusses how a "failsafe" system failed, due to a combination of poor design, equipment failure and human error. At the time of filming, many of the safety measures recommended by the subsequent inquiry had still not been implemented.
