This paper provides an overview of findings from the Health and Safety Laboratory investigation into human factors issues surrounding passenger escape and evacuation in the Ladbroke Grove train crash (1999). Drawing upon a range of contextual information the investigation focused upon identifying barriers and delays to evacuation following the incident. Findings highlight a number of important design shortcomings, as well as scope for the enhancement of both passive and active communication systems. The need to take account of passengers' mental models, intuitions and situation awareness when designing communication systems and emergency egress equipment for the railway carriage environment is highlighted.
