British Transport Police has issued a further update following the fatal East Midlands Railway crash near Bedford, confirming that all passengers who were critically injured are now improving.
The collision, which happened on Friday 19 June, involved two East Midlands Railway services on the Midland Main Line. One of the trains was the 3.50pm service from Nottingham to London St Pancras.
Train driver Shaun Burton, 60, died in the crash, while around 100 people were injured.
British Transport Police previously confirmed that a number of passengers had suffered serious and very serious injuries. In its latest update, the force said all passengers are now improving and none remain in a critical condition.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch has also published early findings into the crash.
Investigators said one of the trains had stopped unexpectedly before the collision after a fault developed with its Automatic Warning System equipment, causing the brakes to apply.
The second train then collided with the rear of the stationary service. RAIB said early evidence showed the train had passed a red signal before the impact.
The findings are preliminary, and the full investigation is continuing. RAIB will examine the sequence of events leading up to the collision, the actions of those involved, the condition and performance of the trains and signalling systems, and any wider safety issues.
The crash led to a major emergency response involving British Transport Police, Bedfordshire Police, fire crews, ambulance teams, Network Rail, East Midlands Railway and rail accident investigators.
The collision caused significant disruption on the Midland Main Line while recovery work and safety checks were carried out.
