Crash in the Dark: The Severn Tunnel Train Crash

This detailed dramatised coverage of the Severn Tunnel train accident shows many facets of safety systems and emergency response.

This is one of the 10 DVDs in the acclaimed BBC series now available in a totally new format with expert training support material.

In December 1991 two passenger trains collided in the 6.5km long tunnel under the River Severn in England, joining England and Wales.  185 people were injured.  Rescuers did not reach the train until two hours after the incident.

Crash in the dark highlights failures in the response to the collision between the trains in the Severn Tunnel - providing a strong focus on these oversights due to the enormity of the outcomes.
