Abstract

On 18 November 1996, a fire on Heavy Goods Vehicle shuttle No. ‘7539’, travelling from France to England, forced the train to stop at about 19 km from the French entrance. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the accident. The analysis covers the incident train’s journey from the French terminal until it stopped in-tunnel only. The approach has been to use a tunnel fire safety management system model as a ‘template’ for comparison with the ‘system’ at the time of the tunnel fire. Some findings have been highlighted. The model is intended to represent a ‘systemic’ approach to tunnel fire safety management.
