Ep 1: The Cramlington Train Wreckers

from North by North-East · host North by North East Podcast

In our first (official) episode, we travel back to 1926, a year dominated by industrial unrest and political discord. Like the Flying Scotsman, our destination is Cramlington. Unlike the Flying Scotsman, we're here by choice, not by sabotage (though we can get 'off track' every now and then). How was the country's most famous train derailed at a Northumberland mining town? Were the perpetrators terrorists or working class heroes? What repercussions did the accused face?  For the answers to the above, hit play, and join Ben and Glen as they uncover the dramatic tale of a derailment that shook not just Northumberland, but the Nation.
