Do you really think that there could be a Mod 5 question based on the Potter's Bar report? Is there much overlap between the syllabus of mod 5 and the subject matter of the accident report? I could see a question appearing in Mods 1 or 7 relating to maintenance regime of s&c, management of maintenance activities or incident reporting. A possibe mod 5 question could be to describe an adequate procedure for inspecting s&c?

Yes, well at least on the subject rather than the report itself. There has been a substantial change not only in maintenance regime but also what is measured re free wheel clearances for example, the introduction of yellow stretchers, different forms of lock nuts etc as a result of both Potter's bar and Greyrigg / Lambrigg- for example see attachment.
You are absolutely right that a question could well come up as you have suggested in mod 1 (or less likely 7) but the details more related to the points themselves could equally cbe asked in mod 3 at a "principles" level or in mod5 at a more "nuts and bolts, detailed mechanical design or set-up consideration.
