I was there about three hours after it happened standing onthe bridge near by, i was 23 then, the steam cranes were amazing to watch lifting the wreckage, the loco was on its side, the whole place was quite eerie at the time, and thats all i am going to say
-
You said it was 1978, dont you mean 1973?
-
I can vaguely remember my dad being called out to help with the survivors. He was a member of the Salvation Army at Ealing.
-
Class 42 /43 were Warships, class 52 were Westerns and class 35 were Hymeks, as they were "non standard" they were withdrawn too early
-
The Class 52 Western could accommodate 620 people? Good god, that would be a squeeze around the engines and transmission 😄
-
In the UK its usually referred to as the railway station with the track running true it sometimes referred to as the permanent way... Train station has probably crept in from the US 😀
-
"1A82" is the trains timetabled reporting number, not a type of train. Other such basic errors caused me to give up after watching one (1) minute of the video.
-
8:13 "For some reason" ??? The derailment would be instantaneous, no time for a brake application.
-
My neighbour was on the train ( also a railwayman). He helped rescue survivors
-
Just after this, all maintenance documents were marked on the top of the page, persons signing off work is responsible for cover / panel security . I worked with Mr Wiggins's son .
-
I absolutely HATE artificial voices.
-
Can you record paragraph by paragraph rather than sentence by sentence, its rather annoying. Its like loads of sections spliced together.
-
1A82 sounds like a headcode, not a type or class of train.
-
To me, being able to lock the peardrop safety catch open is a big red flag, I don't think you should be able to disable a safety feature like that, surely you should just swing it away when the door is being opened or closed.
-
Highly interesting video showing how a small mistake can make a big disaster.
-
That battery box door had one damn strong hinge.
-
I'm sure the class 52 didn't have a maximum capacity of 622, that would depend on the rolling stock it pulled. Trying to get that number of people on the locowould be s ridiculous.
-
They aren't Train Stations, they are Railway Stations!
-
Excellent content - thanks for posting

0:11 "But what the driver nor the crew members don't realise". This implies they do realise it.
