The number of WTE Railway Accident Investigators employed by my department at year end 2022, 2023 and to-date in 2024 is outlined below.
Grade | Number of staff Dec 2022 | Number of staff Dec 2023 | Number of staff Feb 2024 |
---|---|---|---|
Chief Railway Accident Investigator | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Senior Railway Accident Investigator | 3 | 4 | 4 |
As you will see, the numbers have increased in 2023, to support this important work. There are currently no plans to increase this number further in 2024.
