Will definitely be giving this one a listen, given it's promixity to me and the fact I've passed through that junction - still largely the same as it was in 1989, contrasting markedly with how Newton Junction has changed since 1991 - countless times.
Finally got around to listening to this episode a few nights ago, and it was a compelling, absorbing listen. I had no idea (unless I somehow overlooked it) that the driver of the Milngavie-Springburn 303 (the train that ran through the red platform signal) later sued for damages against BR.
I also listened to the Ufton Nevert, Eccles (1984) & Hixon episodes as well. The pictures of the damage done to 45147 at Eccles always make me shudder.
The James St episode I'll need to steel myself for though. As
@Cowley noted in a previous post, it's beyond tragic and I can't begin to imagine what it was like for the poor girl's family, friends and everyone else who got caught up in it.
Dan, I've a few incidents in mind that may you may interested in covering if it's at all possible, but I think you mentioned in one episode that of these may be getting a episode to itself in the future:
- Tay Bridge (December 1879)
- Armagh (June 1889)
- Moorgate (February 1975)
- Newton, South Lanarkshire (July 1991)
- Greenock (June 1994)
- Largs (July 1995)
- Falls of Cruachan (June 2010)
Given it's far-reaching impact and legacy that's still felt to this day, the Tay Bridge collapse and it's aftermath may merit similar treatment to Ladbroke Grove and Carmont: a two/three parter. Not sure if light rail/metro systems are in your remit though, which would discount Moorgate.
