记者 丹尼·富尔布鲁克 报道 调查人员发现，一列涉及致命事故的列车在通过一个极少亮红灯的红色信号时仍在加速。
A train involved in a fatal crash had accelerated past a red signal that was rarely ever on, investigators have found.
6月19日，60岁的列车司机肖恩·伯顿驾驶的开往伦敦的列车在贝德福德附近的埃尔斯托追尾另一列列车，导致伯顿身亡，160多人受伤。
Train driver Shaun Burton, 60, died and more than 160 people were injured when his London-bound service crashed into the back of another train on 19 June at Elstow, near Bedford.
铁路事故调查局（RAIB）发现，在2026年事故发生前，该信号灯从未对任何列车显示过红灯。
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) has found the signal had not displayed a red light to any train before the crash during 2026.
最新的临时报告称，闭路电视显示信号灯正确显示了红灯，伯顿也确认了这一点，但他继续加速，仅在撞上另一列列车前几秒才踩刹车，而那列列车早已停下。
The latest interim report said CCTV had shown the signal had displayed red correctly, and Burton had acknowledged it, but he had continued to accelerate and applied brakes only seconds before hitting the other train, which had earlier come to a stop.
碰撞发生在英国国铁米德兰主线上，涉及两列东米德兰铁路（EMR）的列车，地点距离贝德福德站约2.5英里（4公里）以南。
The collision took place between two East Midlands Railway (EMR) services on Network Rail's Midland Main Line, about 2.5 miles (4km) south of Bedford station.
第一列从诺丁汉开往伦敦的列车司机正在教练监督下学习操作一种新型列车。
The driver of the first train, travelling from Nottingham to London, was learning how to operate a new type of train under the supervision of an instructor.
尽管前方信号灯显示绿灯，但该列车在接收到自动警示系统（AWS）警报后停下了。
It stopped after receiving an Automatic Warning System (AWS) alert, despite the signal ahead displaying green.
司机和教练均未将该警报识别为AWS警告，且未在规定时限内确认，导致列车自动施加紧急制动。
Neither the driver nor the instructor recognised the alarm as an AWS warning, and it was not acknowledged within the required window. This caused the train's emergency brakes to be applied automatically.
当伯顿驾驶的列车从科比驶来时，信号灯显示红灯，尽管他确认了AWS警告，但仍继续加速。
When Burton's train approached from Corby, the signal was displaying red, although he acknowledged its AWS warning, he continued to accelerate.
RAIB表示，自1985年有记录以来，从未有列车在该信号灯显示红灯时通过。
RAIB said no train had previously been recorded passing the signal while it was red since records began in 1985.
事故发生后的7月9日，另一列驶向同一信号灯的列车尽管看到绿灯，却收到了错误的AWS警告。
On 9 July, after the crash, another train approaching the same signal received an incorrect AWS warning despite it displaying green.
后来发现AWS设备位置比轨面低16毫米，超出允许公差范围。调查人员正在检查这是否导致了错误警告。
The AWS equipment was later found to be positioned 16mm below rail level, outside the permitted tolerance. Investigators are examining whether this contributed to the incorrect warnings.
然而，调查人员在事故发生后对信号灯进行测试时，并未发现信号本身存在故障的证据。
However, investigators found no evidence that the signal itself was faulty when it was tested after the crash.
铁路事故调查局（RAIB）表示，将继续调查伯顿的列车为何会通过红灯，以及该信号灯的位置、可视度和状态。
RAIB said it would continue to investigate why Burton's train had passed the red signal, as well as the signal's positioning, visibility and status.
