Redcar are bidding to build on an impressive home opener when they face Workington in the BSN Series at the ECCO Arena tonight The Bears have the early advantage in the Northern group after taking the aggregate point from their clashes against Scunthorpe which included a big home win over the Scorpions last week They bring in Anders Rowe to guest for Erik Riss who is the wild card for this weekend’s German Grand Prix and Redcar star Danny King says they are keen to follow up their 57-point haul from last time out King said: “Obviously that’s the plan but a repeat will be tough We all rode well last week so we are hoping that continues there’s a long way to go but I’m really pleased with the early signs from the boys Meanwhile the Comets race for the first time as a team in 2025 having previously been frustrated by the weather Jacob Hook and Vinnie Foord all making their debuts Comets stand-in boss James Wilson said: “Redcar is always a tough place to go and even though Erik Riss isn’t riding they have a very capable guest in Anders we won there last year and there’s no reason we can’t do it again – especially with Vinnie and Jacob at reserve it could be the edge we need to get a result.” Subscribe to our mailing list to receive daily updates direct to your inbox *We hate spam as much as you do.

between Saltburn and Nunthorpe struck a car on Redcar level crossing which is situated in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland The collision took place with the train travelling at 23 mph (37 km/h) The car driver was injured in the collision and significant damage was caused to the car There were no reported injuries to the passengers and staff on the train The investigation found that the signaller had opened Redcar level crossing to road traffic following the passage of a previous train to allow road traffic to clear The signaller then forgot that the crossing was open and tried to set the route for the passenger train into Redcar Central station but was unable to clear the protecting signal to allow the train to proceed This was because the interlocking in the signalling system had detected that the crossing was open the signaller authorised the train to pass the signal at danger In the absence of the crossing gates being closed or the road traffic signals being activated the car driver drove onto the crossing where the collision occurred RAIB found that the normal sequence of actions used by the signaller to set the route for the train to enter Redcar Central station was disrupted probably causing them to forget that Redcar level crossing was open to road traffic This disruption included a telephone call and a perceived fault with the signalling panel RAIB also found that the visual and procedural cues available to the signaller of the status of Redcar level crossing which may have alerted them that it remained open were either not used or were not effective The investigation also found that the train driver did not approach the level crossing at a speed that would have allowed them to stop the train before it collided with the car The train driver was also unable to see that the crossing gates were open to road traffic due to their unusual design RAIB additionally identified that there were no engineered controls fitted to the level crossing that would have automatically activated the wig-wag lights when the train approached An underlying factor to the accident was that Network Rail’s processes for managing signaller competence had not effectively addressed the signaller’s previous operational incidents RAIB also found that no ergonomic assessment of the layout of controls at Redcar signal box had been carried out and that this was a possible underlying factor RAIB has made one recommendation to Network Rail This deals with reviewing the ergonomic risks associated with the operation of the signals and level crossings at Redcar signal box Three learning points have also been identified relating to the need to comply with the rules associated with trains being authorised to pass signals at danger These relate to signallers checking that the route is clear to train drivers driving at caution at controlled level crossings and to signallers specifying the locations of controlled level crossings to train drivers The sole purpose of RAIB investigations is to prevent future accidents and incidents and improve railway safety While our investigations are completely independent of the railway industry we do maintain close liaison with railway companies and if we discover matters that may affect the safety of the railway we make sure that information about them is circulated to the right people as soon as possible and

penalty seems unlikely to stop him if showing up in a similar mood this afternoon Southwell winner I Can Boogy wasn’t seen to best effect when sixth here on Easter Monday and should figure while Bigfield Dream wouldn’t be the first Alice Haynes handicap newcomer to improve for cheekpieces and needs monitoring for market support LOTHLORIEN did well to overcome inexperience when making a winning start at Beverley for Kevin Ryan last August and can return in style here at the chief expense of fellow debut scorer Fluorescence who also has better days ahead of her after her ready win at Southwell last October Last month’s Ripon winner Angelic Bugler and Michael Dods’ debutant Call Me Betty appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours A few of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for Brian Ellison’s NORTHERNER to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and gain her breakthrough success as she wasn’t beaten far when fifth on last month’s return at Nottingham Sergeant Mayer was beaten a neck in the same race and is feared most ahead of Let’s Go Hugo who’s been fourth in both his starts this spring and has another go in cheekpieces SEE

Walford’s KIMEKO GLORY was evidently well served by the increase in trip when making a winning return from four months off at Beverley last week The manner of that victory suggests a 6 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent her making a bold bid to follow up Handicap debutants Divine Legacy and Gennadius are others to consider with Blueandtangerine another to keep an eye on over a distance that
