As it stands, the article says "[intoxication was a] secondary cause of the Eltham Well Hall rail crash". I'm not sure about that "secondary". In current RAIB terminology, the overspeed was the "immediate cause", the intoxication was a "causal factor", and the booking-on procedure was a "contributory factor" - in the original report, the overspeed was described as the "immediate cause" of the accident (para 95), the intoxication as the "sole cause" of the overspeed (para 110), and the booking-on procedure as "unsatisfactory" (para 133) [1]. Would there be any objection if I changed "secondary cause" to "main cause" (or "a causal factor in", if "main cause" isn't acceptable)? Tevildo ( talk) 23:54, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
The last bullet point under "Inquiry" states "Arrangements for the booking-on of staff should be reviewed"
I've tried looking it up but can't find a definition anywhere, I'm not sure if this means hiring staff, arresting staff, or something completely different or subtle. StarkRG ( talk) 04:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
