About one mile (1.5 kilometres) past the signal the train was travelling at 86 mph (138 km/h) and a brake application was made and the wheels began to slide. A full service brake application was followed by an emergency brake application. As the train approached signal SY31, the overspeed sensor fitted to the train detected that the train was travelling in excess of the 34.5 mph (55.5 km/h) permitted when a red aspect was displayed and the TPWS demanded emergency braking, which was already being applied by the driver.
