The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) investigation found the incident occurred because the aerodrome controller mistook the call sign of the aircraft she intended to line up for take-off on another runway.
"(She) thereby inadvertently instructed another aircraft to line up in front of the aircraft that was landing."

So either she did not include the runway number in the clearance, which is very lax. Or she did and the pilot lined up any way. EITHER way some small portion of blame must rest with the pilots for accepting an improper clearance.
