02/04/2017 Waterloo	Operational Close Call / Possession irregularity The PICOP of item 11 (Waterloo – Queenstown Road 00:15 – 04:00 Mon) reported that hook switch 2163 (platform 11) was closed, when it should be open. Further investigations were undertaken to understand how this occurred, but unfortunately it has not been established when the error was made for us to understand the chain of events and learn from it.
04/04/2017 Pirbright Junction / Fleet	Strapping Issue/Possession Irregularity An ODM who had investigated as to why a Line Blockage had been refused, identified that other line blockages associated with item’s 43, 52, 62 and 69 in week 52 to facilitate strapping out, had not been used either. It had appeared that the ES for these possessions may have applied an agreed strapping trial, but had not taken into account that this was specifically aimed at Network Rail staff within a particular location. This incident is subject to further investigation.
06/04/2017 Waterloo	Trespasser / Verbal assault PICOP for Item 6 advised that the ES reported a trespasser (a male in his early 20’s), in his work site who was aggressive and angry.

Osborne were working within Item 153, which was a line blockage between trains and whilst arrangements were made to apply additional protection, the Controller Of Site Safety had begun work without the Protection Controllers (PC) authority.

08/04/2017 Clapham Yard	Derailment SWT Movements Manager reported that loco 47848 had derailed whilst carrying out a propelling movement and roads No.1 to 41 were blocked.

09/04/2017 Shalford Junction	Item 75 – Worksite Irregularity The Outer ODM was carrying out checks on a Works Delivery possession discovered a worksite irregularity where the straps had been placed in the wrong location. The straps are meant to be at 31 miles 36 chain on the Up and Down Guildford lines, but were placed at 31 miles 40 chain which had effectively increased the worksite by 4 chains. The strap on the Up Guildford was also located between the detonators and Possession Limit Board. Upon this being identified, the error was corrected. This incident is under further investigation.
