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.

A good summary of the subject, which I had very little knowledge of. Amazing how long British railway companies (other than GWR) held off installing CTC, despite the grisly toll due to the delay. Just like their counterparts in the USA!Product details

Britain Railway Disasters eBook Robin Jones Reviews
Very good history of some of Britain's notable railway accidents. Well written and easy to understand, so you can really get a feel for what happened. Great read for railway historians and fans.
It's always nice to be the first reviewer for a good book. This is a comprehensive look at railway wrecks in Britain from 1830 through 2007 that involved passenger deaths. Extremely well written and well researched, the author takes a mundane topic and makes it interesting. She explains not only the details of each accident, but includes the trials of those responsible and the effect each had on the British railway system. It is a very easy read and it is very interesting to see in such detail and written so well what happened in each wreck. She includes either a photo or drawing created at the time. If you are a railroad history fan you will enjoy reading this book.
