The video details exactly the same.
Systemic failures at multiple levels caused the accident.

Looks like not following speed restriction in TA912 was pretty common there as neither the document given mentioned speed restriction to follow neither were the LPs properly trained in that matter so whoever knew it followed and others just bypassed.

Relying on mobile networks for communication in such critical work environments is a horrible idea. The zone involved should be severely punished for not providing walkie talkie to the LPs and guard.

Multiple accounts of automatic signalling failures being reported and no proper action taken to find out why it's failing so often and fixing it.

Kavach system should be implemented across Railway network on priority basis.

People travel with peace of mind and safety thinking that Indian Railways is a robust organisation with utmost priority to safety operated by professionals but these things coming out of the report are pretty frightening. Feels like many things are like "jaise chalta hai vaise chalne de" in Indian Railways.
If such things continue people will loose faith in Railways and look for alternative options.
