Occurrence Summary What Location Date of occurrence 30-03-16 Location name Fauske station Local time Event type Railway vehicle movement events Level crossing event Level crossing accident Latitude Longitude Description On the 30th of March 2016 a person was hit by train 471 at Fauske station. The accident occured when the person was using the pedestrian level crossing over track 1 at Fauske station. At the same time, train 471 from Trondheim to Bodø arrived at the station. The person was hit by the train and died immediately. Direct Cause descrip Havarikommisjonen mener det er sannsynlig at bruk av smarttelefon og lyd på øret tok bort fokus fra omgivelsene slik at vedkommende ikke oppdaget toget. Txp var tilstede på plattformen og kan, ifølge instruks og dersom det er mulig, gripe inn ved tilløp til uønskede hendelser. Slik Havarikommisjonen ser det, var ikke det mulig i den gitte situasjonen, og det er heller ikke noe de reisende kan basere seg på. I fremtiden er det sannsynlig at flere stasjoner blir ubetjente, og overvåkning og sikring av personoverganger på stasjoner må ta høyde for dette. Dersom tog 471 hadde vært kjørt i spor 2 istedenfor spor 1, ville man unngått at toget krysset personovergangen under innkjøring til stasjonen. Havarikommisjonen mener at man må vurdere sporbruk ved Fauske på nytt, og at dette arbeidet også må gjøres ved andre stasjoner som har tilsvarende kryssinger med passasjerutveksling.

Underlying and root causes description Direct Cause description The (AIBN) finds it probable that the person in question was distracted from observing the surroundings as a result of using a smart phone with ear plugs and did not notice the train. A train dispatcher was present on the platform and, according to the instructions, has the authority to intervene when possible in situations that could give rise to an undesirable incident. In the AIBN s view, this was neither possible in the given situation, nor is it something that passengers should rely on. More stations are likely to be unmanned in the future, and pedestrian crossings must be monitored and secured accordingly. Had train 471 run on track 2 rather than track 1, it would not have had to cross the pedestrian crossing while approaching the station. The AIBN is of the opinion that track allocation at Fauske should be reconsidered, and that this should also be done at other stations where trains pass each other in a similar way and exchange passengers.
