Britain's Railway Disasters

4/5 ( ratings)

This is the story of how Britain’s railway disasters, horrific though they may be, change the network for the better through the crucial lessons that are learned.

While many of Britain’s worst tragedies are covered in depth, such as Quintinshill in 1915 and Harrow & Wealdstone in 1952, the book also looks at others that had resounding consequences for safety.

Robin Jones is a widely published and highly respected journalist who specialises in heritage transportation and industrial archaeology subjects.
