This paper is intended to share some observations on how Γ―open-access’ arrangements and market competition may affect the sources of risk in rail freight operations. It is written from a UK and Irish perspective, but may be of relevance to virtually any nation where there is a transition underway from a monopolistic state railway to multiple operators engaged in competition.

A study, conducted by Scandpower, on requirements and regulations in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany concerning the crew on board passenger trains. The conditions in each country have been studied in order to compare the different concepts and conclude if there are major differences in approach, requirements and methods. The study was focused on the application of the safety equipment of the trains, the tasks of the crew and evacuation requirements in case of an emergency situation. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety related importance of the manning of passenger trains with or without safety crew.

In this paper the author describes, from the perspective of a recently retired Director of Rail Investigations, how Canadian railway safety management changed over the previous twelve years. Issues covered include changes to the regulatory, industry and investigative environment and use examples of accidents investigated to highlight problems encountered during the author’s time working at the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. The issues presented are used to draw conclusions, with lessons learned, which can perhaps have some application in other countries.
