Yeah defo braked

It added that "it is not yet possible to say what indication the driver received" from automatic warning system (AWS) equipment fitted to the train.

The RAIB has found the stationary train had come to a stop "unexpectedly" because of a fault with its Automatic Warning System (AWS) equipment.
Data suggests the signal behind the stationary train was red, according to investigators.

The train that had started its journey at Corby, passed this red signal, its brakes were activated for about nine seconds before the collision, when the train was travelling at about 76 mph.

Its speed had reduced to 49mph when the impact happened.
