Disruption

As a result of the accident, train services were suspended between Moudon and Payerne. A bus replacement service was provided.[3] The line was scheduled to be reopened in the afternoon of 30 July.[9]

Investigation

At the time, the Swiss Accident Investigation Board (SAIB) were responsible for investigating railway accidents in Switzerland.[10] The wrecked trains were moved to Yverdon where they were examined by the investigators.[6]

Cause

Initial reports indicated that the local train at Grange-près-Marnand station did not wait for the arrival of the incoming train from Payerne and left the station too soon.[11] The SAIB final report shows that the accident was caused by train 12976 departing from Granges-près-Marnard against a red signal.[12]
