The work trolley was dragged for about a mile after the crash in October 2021.
A train that smashed into an abandoned work trolley at 123mph should not have travelled so fast to a station afterwards, investigators have said.No passengers were injured. The train was damaged but did not derail.
It found Network Rail workers failed to correctly follow processes to allow trains to run after overnight work. The trolley's handle became lodged underneath the train, causing damage to the underframe, while the track suffered minor damage. The trolley was destroyed.
