A rail manager who fielded a call from a worried passenger the night before a train crash sent workmen to check the wrong line after "assuming" the man raising the alarm had been heading south not north, an inquest has heard.

Rail worker Terence Moore reported a "rough ride" 16 hours before seven people died when the 12.45pm London King's Cross to King's Lynn, Norfolk, train derailed when it hit faulty points at Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, on May 10, 2002, the inquest in Hertfordshire was told.

Mr Moore, a station announcer at Finsbury Park, north London, had been going home to Stevenage, Hertfordshire, when his train jolted "violently" as it crossed points south of Potters Bar station on May 9 - and he called the signal box at King's Cross to air his concerns, a jury heard. However, David Castle, then duty manager in the King's Cross signal box, told jurors today how he "assumed" Mr Moore was travelling to work in London and therefore asked for checks on the southbound line.

Jurors heard that Mr Moore had given the code number of the train he was on and told Mr Castle: "I just came back. Coming from work. Coming home on 1C39."

He gave details of the location of the "rough ride" and told Mr Castle: "The train seems to bounce... it could be lethal."

Mr Castle said he not "picked up" what Mr Moore was saying about "coming from work" and had not checked to see which direction train number 1C39 was heading. The hearing continues and is expected to end later this summer.
